Amazing!!! Thank you so much! I just purchased all three (Dodge and Burn, Heal, and Portrait Volumes) I can’t seem to find your Retouch4Me photoshop action in your description? Maybe I missed it? Thanks so much! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
@@PiXimperfect Thank you!!! I learn so much from your videos! They are always very fun and charismatic which allows me keep focused on all the valuable information you provide! Keep it up! We appreciate you and all your hard work!!!
I quit my job at bank and became a designer 3 years ago. Since then, I’ve learned and also shared to my colleagues a lot from you and your videos. Thank you very much ❤️
All of you will have to get new jobs because AI automation is taking the art retouching and design world by storm. Everything will be done at a very high quality and realistically at the click of a button cutting out the middle man and saving thousands by not having to pay any of us for hours and hours of high end retouching 😢
Holy crap! I was seriously wanting to purchase this.... until I went to the site. To get the full suite it is over $700 WITH the 25% off. That seems quite steep for your average person.
You do not need all of them. Even just the Heal and Dodge and Burn will be enough. Personally, I just use those two and the portrait volume occationally.
I agree that Eye Vesseles, Heal, Clean Backdrop, Skin Tone and White Teeth are way overpriced. Most of it can be easily done with healing brush and/or auto fill (Photoshop "AI" is great in most scenerios). The only thing that you benefit with is creating batch actions with them. To obtain a similar effect to D&B and Portrait Volumes you need more skills and years of experience - that is why IMO they are worth every penny.
I bought the Heal, D&B, Volume and the Clean Backdrop (the studio I use has dirty cyc's a lot of the time). I am in for over $400 but as someone else mentioned, time is money. If you are simply a hobbiest and or loads of time, you may not be able to justify, but for me, I do shoots partly as a hobby, partly to make a little money, or better yet, lose less money. Most of my clients never print, or do much else than post the photos on IG, and I was spending 3- 45 minutes editing... these will speed that up. I do some higher quality shoots at times, and some of them print, so for those, we will see how this works
My last comment was deleted(?) That's cheeky. Some of this plugins are overprized. And before the bonus campaign was launched, the prices of the plugins were increased! The filters were on sale for $79!
I used to work for a studio that specialized in yearbook and senior sessions -- plus family and business headshots... This would have been a perfect plugin to run through batch automation and call it done. Hundreds of hours might have been saved each week. For the retouch work I do now, this makes sense to save time and get to a starting point. Especially when I have fashion or catalogue work that comes in batches of 25 to 100 images.
@@marckospauloluiz1720 Sorry for my ignorance, but could you use this for more than one photo at the same time in PS or do you have to run it one by one??? Thank you!
@@Anna-gv7vo I wouldn't know for sure until I try the software, but I've created batch processing sequences for 3rd party plug-ins in the past -- so I'd bet the same could be done with this software. If you haven't tried it yet, PS has a built-in batch editor that uses Actions to process all images from a folder.
When you said "It's Just a blur" around 9:32, you said it with such emphasis like you were expressing everyone's frustrations with the Retouch technology out there today 🤣😂🤣. I myself was so frustrated with the fakeness of Retouching A.I. That I just went ahead and spent a whole year, teaching myself how to spend hours professionally retouching portraits, with your and other masterclasses I've found on the net. So I might just try this software out to compare it with my own retouching techniques and see how closely or realistic the A.I. software can live up to. Thanks for the notice!
Thanks, Unmesh. Great tutorial as usual. I bought all 3 plugins and your action it has sped up my workflow considerably. Thanks for all you do for your community. Wishing you get joy through 2022. 👑
This is a gamechanger. It is the first time I literally feel like someone is taking over my computer and retouch the image for me and doing it with that subtle yet pleasing result. And it can only get better from here. Amazing. I have Portrait Professional 22 and PT but this....this is something else. I feel dirty using it 😀.
How exactly is this a good thing? Hours of doing this manually before would mean more money no? Who needs you now when they can do it themselves in their own computers? Lol
Thanks for sharing this, Unmesh! At first I was like, "you should learn how do to this stuff manually" but then I'm like I do know how to do this manually. What I need is a way to speed up my workflow when I do multiperson (read 20+) headshots in a day. I always dread retouching after those shoots but love getting booked for those shoots. This is what I've been looking for and without know I needed it till now.
Forget about his super powers in photoshop, he just looks so pleasant to watch and listen to. seems very down to earth and kind hearted young man. Bravo!
Very impressive! I love that they have editable layers so we can go in and manually compensate for any missed spots! As someone who comes from frequency separation retouching and is still a beginner with dodge and burn retouching, I’m excited about this!!
@@aussie2uGA Not really. To be honest the blemishes removal also cleans a bit the background, and the dodge and burn smooth it out. About color there's no issue at all, not on skin tones, not backdrops, nowhere. Just some times it tries to "over dodge and burn" some areas like the eyes dark circles and it washes it a bit, but as i said before, in general, color is not touched.
This is soooo good. Spent hundreds of hours of my life doing this! I need this!!!!! Thank you creator Oleg for making this, (and Unmesh for telling us how it works and comparing)
I pulled the trigger and bought background cleanup, heal, d&b and portrait volumes. It gets the studio portraits at 70-75% finished level. Small tweaks here and there, some extra care at the skin, some liquifying and done. I finished 5 pics that would take 45 minutes each in less than 30 minutes for all of them. And by the way it’s the first plug-ins I ever *actually* buy (cough cough 🏴☠️). I wanted to reward the developers for their fantastic job. I hope they get regular updates to improve even more with time.
Haha...quote of the day. "There is no no blurring going on..." To watch you get excited with something Photoshop, is worth a look. I'll need to check it out...if I get started with headshots again, this tool would be the best!!! Thanks!
These AI add ons for PS are awesome. I bought Heal, D&B, Portrait Volumes and Skin Tones for our headshot retouching. I love it and they will save a tremendous amount of time, allowing the business to grow. Thank you for the tutorial!
O...M...G.... Thank you so so much!!!!! I'm a fantasy photographer and i hate retouching so much🤣 i'm more the photographer, Stylist and MakeUp Artist than retoucher....and this totally safes my LIFE!!!! Tried them out and bought right away💕
I'm sold. I do a lot of social media work so the budgets are really small. Usually I spend hours editting the photos myself or pay a retoucher that fits the budget and honestly neither of those stack up to this plugin. A one time registration fee for the same price I pay a retoucher every job is mind boggling
I just purchased the Matifier plug in and damn!! it helps SO MUCH tbh, I personally think that's the best of all the plug ins since many of the people who come to the studio have oily skin or for some reason there are very noticeable highlights on the face, and it saves me a bunch of time, I think the Matifier, Dodging and Burning and Healing are the top 3 but I still have to buy the latter 2 (I just tried the demo of them and saw huge differences), hopefully as I get more gigs I'll be able to have an excuse for the last 2 lol, thank you PiXimperfect!! your content is top notch :)
OMG this is the best plugin ever. I was using Portrait Pro. But, the skin results of Retouch4me is insane. Absolutely perfect. Now, the price! :( But, I will buy it for sure. I love it.
You are an amazing teacher. I am very new to photography and editing - very new. You are the first person that has shown me how to really use Adobe. Thank you so much.
Great video - I'm going to try it. My only criticism is that you didn't demo it on older people. I do exec headshots and wrinkles are the issue, not blemishes and zits!
I have tested the three standalone demos and it is quite close to how I edit my photos with small exceptions such as stretch marks on a model's leg which are not removed with the Heal tool, nor with the Dodge and Burn tool, so this is something I still need to do manually. Although I think the price for the tools are hefty for the average user it surely is a great tool for professional photographers as it pays off easily with time, one can save a lot of time and that's an important point when you need to pay bills. I'm a semi pro, not depending on an income from photography and the software for the results but I think I will grab it because it saves me a lot of time time I can use for other things instead of spending the whole day retouching photos from a shoot with several sets. I have other hobbies I want to spend time on, meet friends and enjoy a walk/hike in the nature. I could not test the plugins for photoshop as the demos don't allow to save the work but as a standalone tool it showed the capability and that was pretty convincing to me. Unfortunately testing all three tools at the same time is not possible because the demos don't allow saving so I could not test Heal, DnB and PV on the same photo. I have tested it on untouched photos as well as on fully retouched photos. I only shoot models, mostly with little to no clothes, so skin retouching takes a long time, few full body, mostly american cut (above knee upwards) photos with lots of skin to retouch. Some mention it may take long to process on slower machines. On my machine it felt very fast with TIFF 16bit and 8bit sRGB and JPG files at 100% quality. Opening a photo and appliying the AI took between 5 and 8 seconds with each tool. My Machine specs read: i7-10770, RTX 3070, 32GB RAM Update: I bought all three pieces of software, Heal, DnB and Portrait Volumes after testing it for hours with various model photos I shot this year.
@@haies09 Yeah, I've noticed that feature, I'm not really sure about sending in photos yet. I think it will get better with time. Since that's the only thing I've noticed so far I'm happy with this software, unlike like portrait pro, Luminar 4 and Luminar AI.
I feel like a lot of people are complaining about the full price with all of the tools, but they're missing the point. What's so great is that each tool is separate, you can take what you want, pass on what you don't. I feel like blemish removal "HEAL" is so easy in PS currently, so that one is a time saver...no doubt, but, an easy pass for me. The dodge and burn is the real time saver and you can just buy that one for $111. The volume is also an easy pass for me. Teeth whitener, pass. The Eye tool, now that's interesting, would love a video on how that works.
It never ceases to amaze me with Adobe. They're meant to be the big hitters in the photography market but somehow their AI seems to be way behind others that work on a fraction of the budget that they have. The majority of the time I use their neural filters I'm left feeling disappointed.
I was about to write exactly this. Why is Adobe so far behind with this stuff? They turnover $13 billion a year and yet a bunch of (awesome) Estonians makes them look like amateurs.
outstanding results, i have PortraitPro, Luminar but this is next level in a.i. retouching. Combined with only some of luminar enchantments it might be true one-click photo preparation for avarage client
I do very well with skin retouching using frequency separation, dodge and burn, or both. I knew it was only a matter of time that adobe will come out with AI skin retouching. boom here it is. I'm glad because I don't have to spends hours retouching skins especially on commercial shots
This is insanely helpful as I have occasional clients where I need to purely batch edit "good enough" shots at volume. This will easily save me a weeks worth of editing for a few hundred bucks.
Thank you! This is going to save me so much time. If I can get this to average 30 seconds an image as your example did, this will save me hours per client. This should pay for itself in three sessions just from the saved time.
Okay, I bought the two plug-ins you demoed here based on your reputation that you really believe in these, rather than just receiving code kickbacks. (nothing wrong with receiving kickbacks if you also believe in the product) It appears that rather than including a flashy GUI that looks good in video ads, this seems to hit the mark in everyday usefulness if one, like me, has a need for this. Looking forward to using these.
Hey Steven, would you mind sharing? I'm kinda broke but this would probably help me get photo jobs done quicker (so I can eventually pay for the product myself). Let me know if you want to help me out. Cheers.
@@CoolMessiah111 Are you asking for a code? It's “PIXIMPERFECT" As far as the plug-ins are concerned, yes I find them useful on my non-photojournalism projects.
A very useful tool. Many folds faster than manual editing. But for creative purpose, I would prefer to use it along with mask. Based on picture the result varies. Some results are flawless some still require good work. For bulk processing, it's really very handy to use.
Love this video. I was amazed at what retouch4me can do. I'm using PortraitPro Studio which is much better than Luminar Ai and Photoshop and does so much more as well. So I wish you'd made that comparison.
Thanks for the great video. The only thing I found so far where the healing plug-in goes faulty is when there is a visible belly button. In that case it tries to heal and remove the bellybutton, which looks terrible. Fortunately you can correct that again afterwards in photoshop.
just purchase retouch4me a couple weeks ago and indeed it had cut down my post process for beauty retouch by at least 1/3 to 2/3 of my time. Huge help. I bought the dodgeBurn and Portrait volumne, the only 2 i think is worth the money. Healing isn't worth it i find, i still have to go back and do some healing myself, so no point.
I think this is pretty darn good and I also understand why the plug-ins are so expensive BUT the fact that it doesn't actually do all the work means I'll still have some refining to do. Also, there were only a few examples tested in this video. Still not sure if it can handle any image I throw at it. For that reason I think I'll wait until it is enhanced some more OR the price drops and it comes as a bundle. Maybe I didn't look long and hard enough but on the website it seems each filter has to be purchased separately. Very impressive though!
Just bought all of the plug-ins ! I’m not one bit satisfied just to let everyone on here know… you really need the most perfect image for it to work! I shoot with a canon r6 and mostly full length portraits and the only one that kind of works is heel
A full length portrait on a 20mp sensor doesn’t need a lot of retouching to begin with. The results are always going to be more noticeable when there is more detail in the subject to begin with, i.e tighter shots and/or higher resolution images where you can see the skin texture clearly. If I’m retouching by hand, a full length shot takes only a fraction of the time I need to spend on a tight headshot of the same person.
this tech is amazing... i think for commercial work, you still need to retouch manually but for 95%-99% of the rest of us, this tool is more than enough for a perfectly acceptable product to deliver to clients. maybe in about 5-10 years, AI will exceed what we believe are our 'artistic limits' ;)
I bought the dodge and burn plugin yesterday and tested it on many different photos (professional photography pics, busy background pics, unprofessional pics...) While it does not work 100% like doing it yourself, it did cut my time of editing at least by half. It gives such a good starting point and then you can refine it for another 10-20 minutes and you are done for most photos. Honestly, I do a lot of photo editing (commercial work) and I would recommend it to cut down the edit time. The other plugins don't feel like value for money to me, but I'm sure that if you want to spend the money, they will be useful as well.
It works so-so to be honest. Most of the time d&b works weird, especially on the dark areas, brightening them up too much so the skin looks covered in spots. Opacity doesn't help here, only masking. It doesn't remove small spots also, it works okay on some larger chunks of skin. I mean, yeah, it could help if you don't have clients who notice such things...but in my case they'd be pissed)) And again, you think that you push three buttons and you're done. But no, 99% of the time you'll be fixing the AI mistakes, which takes even more time than editing it manually. I'm talking about hi-end editing, not some batch wedding shoots, if you know what I mean) so yeah, try it on your own risk.
Will deniteley try it. Notice it would not work that well for eye bags and eye wrinkles, but for 300 with the discount, it is a little steep for a beginner not making money yet.
I use these plugins too. And I have to say though they have done great job, I still love your technic. And the basic skills and hard work is worthy to study.
Glad they let you download demo packs as they did not work very well at all for me. It does work for people in bikini's or a man in shorts with no short ie fitness models. I need a product that works on more than just head shots. After all the positive comments this was very disapointing. What we also need is a create removal action. The background tool worked well at removing marked paper backdrops.
What you don’t say is each feature is a separate purchase. $700 is way too expensive for most. I suppose if one was making their living as a portrait photographer the investment could be worth the price.
Hello Unmesh, I am a big fan. I've watched all videos of your youtube channel. That's crazy haha. Recently my client asked me to remove the lens flare from his one family photo. I have checked each related video on youtube. Didn't find any video helpful. I look forward to hearing from the best photoshop instructor of this era. Can you make a video on how to remove lens flare?

I could not test the plugins for photoshop as the demos don't allow to save the work but as a standalone tool it showed the capability and that was pretty convincing to me. Unfortunately testing all three tools at the same time is not possible because the demos don't allow saving so I could not test Heal, DnB and PV on the same photo. I have tested it on untouched photos as well as on fully retouched photos. I only shoot models, mostly with little to no clothes, so skin retouching takes a long time, few full body, mostly american cut (above knee upwards) photos with lots of skin to retouch.
Some mention it may take long to process on slower machines. On my machine it felt very fast with TIFF 16bit and 8bit sRGB and JPG files at 100% quality. Opening a photo and appliying the AI took between 5 and 8 seconds with each tool.
My Machine specs read: i7-10770, RTX 3070, 32GB RAM
Update: I bought all three pieces of software, Heal, DnB and Portrait Volumes after testing it for hours with various model photos I shot this year.
@@haies09 Yeah, I've noticed that feature, I'm not really sure about sending in photos yet. I think it will get better with time. Since that's the only thing I've noticed so far I'm happy with this software, unlike like portrait pro, Luminar 4 and Luminar AI.
Unmesh, you brighten my day !!
I live seeing this man on my screen
Got them. Thx for the discount. I watch your tuts with pleasure. Even if i know something, i still watch it to see if i missed something :)
I feel like a lot of people are complaining about the full price with all of the tools, but they're missing the point. What's so great is that each tool is separate, you can take what you want, pass on what you don't. I feel like blemish removal "HEAL" is so easy in PS currently, so that one is a time saver...no doubt, but, an easy pass for me. The dodge and burn is the real time saver and you can just buy that one for $111. The volume is also an easy pass for me. Teeth whitener, pass. The Eye tool, now that's interesting, would love a video on how that works.
It never ceases to amaze me with Adobe. They're meant to be the big hitters in the photography market but somehow their AI seems to be way behind others that work on a fraction of the budget that they have. The majority of the time I use their neural filters I'm left feeling disappointed.
They are way to busy shopping for Lear Jets and Yachts to care about improving software..
I was about to write exactly this. Why is Adobe so far behind with this stuff? They turnover $13 billion a year and yet a bunch of (awesome) Estonians makes them look like amateurs.
Adobe has become a bit arrogant and complacent.
They thought they were the only significant player in the game.
Surprise!
@@raytreat6599 They always where arrogant. I miss Macromedia...
Whats the really good options in the market?
outstanding results, i have PortraitPro, Luminar but this is next level in a.i. retouching. Combined with only some of luminar enchantments it might be true one-click photo preparation for avarage client
What a revolutionary tool for photographers and retouchers!
I do very well with skin retouching using frequency separation, dodge and burn, or both. I knew it was only a matter of time that adobe will come out with AI skin retouching. boom here it is. I'm glad because I don't have to spends hours retouching skins especially on commercial shots
This is insanely helpful as I have occasional clients where I need to purely batch edit "good enough" shots at volume. This will easily save me a weeks worth of editing for a few hundred bucks.
Thank you!
This is going to save me so much time. If I can get this to average 30 seconds an image as your example did, this will save me hours per client. This should pay for itself in three sessions just from the saved time.
ahhhh , you made our life sooo easy. thankyou very much
Yay so glad you showcased these plug-ins. Oleg is hands down the best developer, can't wait to see what else he creates
True.
Thanx for your comparisson. Yes, the results makes me speachless, but also the price for those plugins. Not my level, but interesting.

Unmesh is my favorite Indian fellow! Have learned so much from you. Love the way you teach. Makes everything easy to understand. Merry Christmas!
Okay, I bought the two plug-ins you demoed here based on your reputation that you really believe in these, rather than just receiving code kickbacks. (nothing wrong with receiving kickbacks if you also believe in the product)
It appears that rather than including a flashy GUI that looks good in video ads, this seems to hit the mark in everyday usefulness if one, like me, has a need for this. Looking forward to using these.
Hey Steven, would you mind sharing? I'm kinda broke but this would probably help me get photo jobs done quicker (so I can eventually pay for the product myself). Let me know if you want to help me out. Cheers.
@@CoolMessiah111 Are you asking for a code? It's “PIXIMPERFECT"
As far as the plug-ins are concerned, yes I find them useful on my non-photojournalism projects.
@@stevengeorges9046 No I was asking to share the software. Hat in hand.
A very useful tool. Many folds faster than manual editing.
But for creative purpose, I would prefer to use it along with mask. Based on picture the result varies. Some results are flawless some still require good work. For bulk processing, it's really very handy to use.
I said "whoa" at the same time with Unmesh, when I saw RT4me quality at comparison part...Nice share...
A.I. sure has become a game-changer. More time for the fun parts, yay!
Love this video. I was amazed at what retouch4me can do. I'm using PortraitPro Studio which is much better than Luminar Ai and Photoshop and does so much more as well. So I wish you'd made that comparison.
This I will be using once I get a computer capable of doing ML and AI without clogging up resources.
This is amazing, im a brand owner that can't afford to pay $5k for a professional shoot, and im not experienced with photo editing, thank you so much
Thanks for the great video. The only thing I found so far where the healing plug-in goes faulty is when there is a visible belly button. In that case it tries to heal and remove the bellybutton, which looks terrible. Fortunately you can correct that again afterwards in photoshop.
just purchase retouch4me a couple weeks ago and indeed it had cut down my post process for beauty retouch by at least 1/3 to 2/3 of my time. Huge help. I bought the dodgeBurn and Portrait volumne, the only 2 i think is worth the money. Healing isn't worth it i find, i still have to go back and do some healing myself, so no point.
this is mind bending!
I hate to retouch and this is a pure gold solution!
Did you buy it?
@@CoolMessiah111 yes and its awesome!
@@LevAshin I want to buy it but I'm completely broke. Would you mind sharing? Asking hat in hand because I never pirate stuff like this ordinarily.
Oleg is a genius
Este es un fantástico plugin, el, mejor que he visto hasta Hora
I think this is pretty darn good and I also understand why the plug-ins are so expensive BUT the fact that it doesn't actually do all the work means I'll still have some refining to do.
Also, there were only a few examples tested in this video. Still not sure if it can handle any image I throw at it. For that reason I think I'll wait until it is enhanced some more OR the price drops and it comes as a bundle. Maybe I didn't look long and hard enough but on the website it seems each filter has to be purchased separately.
Very impressive though!
Sir, I agree with you.
The results look pretty amazing .i chose to use it and bit of finishing touch with myself .
Nothing beats finishing it off brushing manually!
Adobe Software (Suite) is the industry standard! Great
This looks fantastic (and is too expensive for me). When are we going to get an AI that can really select hair?
Just bought all of the plug-ins ! I’m not one bit satisfied just to let everyone on here know… you really need the most perfect image for it to work! I shoot with a canon r6 and mostly full length portraits and the only one that kind of works is heel
A full length portrait on a 20mp sensor doesn’t need a lot of retouching to begin with. The results are always going to be more noticeable when there is more detail in the subject to begin with, i.e tighter shots and/or higher resolution images where you can see the skin texture clearly. If I’m retouching by hand, a full length shot takes only a fraction of the time I need to spend on a tight headshot of the same person.
Phenomenal definitely saves hours if work
this tech is amazing... i think for commercial work, you still need to retouch manually but for 95%-99% of the rest of us, this tool is more than enough for a perfectly acceptable product to deliver to clients. maybe in about 5-10 years, AI will exceed what we believe are our 'artistic limits' ;)
I bought the dodge and burn plugin yesterday and tested it on many different photos (professional photography pics, busy background pics, unprofessional pics...) While it does not work 100% like doing it yourself, it did cut my time of editing at least by half. It gives such a good starting point and then you can refine it for another 10-20 minutes and you are done for most photos. Honestly, I do a lot of photo editing (commercial work) and I would recommend it to cut down the edit time. The other plugins don't feel like value for money to me, but I'm sure that if you want to spend the money, they will be useful as well.
Boy I wish this was around 15 years ago when I did high volume skin retouching. Of course, I wouldn't have made as much money as I did!
15 years 😳
DAMN! 15 years? WOW! You must have become a skin retouching legend for sure.
@@PiXimperfect And that was before usable tablets so imagine how my right index finger feels after millions of burn and dodge mouse clicks!
Dear friend thank you 💥
It works so-so to be honest. Most of the time d&b works weird, especially on the dark areas, brightening them up too much so the skin looks covered in spots. Opacity doesn't help here, only masking. It doesn't remove small spots also, it works okay on some larger chunks of skin. I mean, yeah, it could help if you don't have clients who notice such things...but in my case they'd be pissed))
And again, you think that you push three buttons and you're done. But no, 99% of the time you'll be fixing the AI mistakes, which takes even more time than editing it manually. I'm talking about hi-end editing, not some batch wedding shoots, if you know what I mean) so yeah, try it on your own risk.
Would you mind sharing the plugin, if you bought it?
Stunning and really scary that its that good! certainly a time saver!
Im always wondering where did you get stock photo from. Anyway good vid always 👍🏻👍🏻
high quality content from unmesh all the time
Thank you, friend! Glad you enjoyed it.
Will deniteley try it. Notice it would not work that well for eye bags and eye wrinkles, but for 300 with the discount, it is a little steep for a beginner not making money yet.
Mindblowing! Thx for sharing your priceless skills!
Holy wow. Instant buy!
I use these plugins too. And I have to say though they have done great job, I still love your technic. And the basic skills and hard work is worthy to study.
Thank You for presenting this gift!
No words to thank you. That’s the only thing I want to say you. ❤️❤️❤️
These are great and can shorten processing time for me as a photographer but the prices are so damn ridiculous! 🙄
Agreed
16:25 its because every artist have their own unique signature 🧑🎨
You can use the AI to speed things up and then add your creative touch to refine it.
Your videos are always helpful for me. kudos.
This is just beyond the imagination from Plugins! That we can expect! 😳😳😳😳
Thank you! and this is WHY I am a patreon member! Amazing comparison.
This is just AMAZING!!!!
Glad they let you download demo packs as they did not work very well at all for me. It does work for people in bikini's or a man in shorts with no short ie fitness models. I need a product that works on more than just head shots. After all the positive comments this was very disapointing. What we also need is a create removal action. The background tool worked well at removing marked paper backdrops.
got it!!! tnx! keep on bringing this highlights.
thanx dude I found them for free full version :*
Great video, you are a great presenter also Unmesh, love watching these videos. Very well made.
finally the tool i was waiting for
This is mindblowing! 🤯 great thanks for presenting 🙏
AWSOME.... LOVED IT..... KEEP TEACHING US ALWAYS...... GREAT..
What you don’t say is each feature is a separate purchase.
$700 is way too expensive for most.
I suppose if one was making their living as a portrait photographer the investment could be worth the price.
Welcome sir
Thank you so much for sharing this information edit tips
Hello Unmesh, I am a big fan. I've watched all videos of your youtube channel. That's crazy haha. Recently my client asked me to remove the lens flare from his one family photo. I have checked each related video on youtube. Didn't find any video helpful. I look forward to hearing from the best photoshop instructor of this era. Can you make a video on how to remove lens flare?
Haha, this is just amazing. I feel like a kid playing GTA, and then discovering insane hacks😆
Great plug-in! Thanks for sharing !
You rock King! Thank you so much! Loved the video.
