The free tool that stops you leaving Photoshop's filter menu open in six different windows at once.
If you use more than one or two Retouch4me plugins, the Panel is the thing that stops the workflow feeling scattered. It's a free extension that puts every plugin you own in one place inside Photoshop, applies results as proper layers, and gives you the choice between your locally owned tools and cloud retouch credits depending on the job — without any extra menu-hunting.
Keeps the workflow inside the Photoshop environment you already know, instead of turning the process into a scattered series of separate app windows.
If you use multiple Retouch4me tools regularly, having them in one panel makes the workflow feel direct rather than fragmented.
Supports both cloud retouch and on-device work, useful for different setups depending on hardware, image volume and preference.
Photoshop Panel is a free extension that brings Retouch4me's AI retouching tools into one central workspace inside Photoshop, with cleaner layer-based output. If you've searched for a faster way to use Retouch4me plugins, this is built specifically for that convenience layer, not for a new retouching effect.
It's free to download — what you're paying for separately is the individual plugins or cloud credits you run through it.
If you're just starting out with Retouch4me, install the Panel first, before you decide which individual plugin to buy — it costs nothing and means whatever you do buy slots straight into one workspace instead of living as a separate filter menu entry. On a shoot where I'm running Heal, Skin Tone and Dodge & Burn back to back, the Panel is the difference between three separate tool launches and one continuous pass.
Strongest when Photoshop is already where most of your retouching happens — not about replacing Photoshop, about making the Retouch4me tools feel properly integrated inside it.
Yes. The Panel itself is free — access to actual retouching depends on cloud retouch credits or owned standalone plugins run through it.
Photographers and retouchers who already work in Photoshop and want a faster, more centralised way to use Retouch4me tools.
Yes — the Panel supports both cloud retouch and on-device modes.
No, the Panel itself downloads free. You'll need either owned plugins or cloud credits to actually run retouching through it.
Photoshop as your main editing environment, wanting Retouch4me integrated into that workflow.
Regularly combining several Retouch4me tools and wanting faster access to them.
Layer-based results and a more connected Photoshop-first finishing process.
Where the challenge is speed and organisation as much as retouch quality itself.
These three all sit on the workflow side, but they're not the same thing. Panel is the Photoshop-first option that keeps everything inside the Adobe environment. Arams handles culling and batch processing before you even get to Photoshop. Apex is the broader all-in-one retouching environment. If your work lives inside Photoshop, the Panel is the natural first install.
If Photoshop Panel feels close to what you need, these are the most natural next pages to compare.
