One click. That easy.
Press Apply all and every tool runs on your own GPU. The result lands as editable layers, and your photos never leave your computer.
Why OpenRetouch
Retouching the way professionals do it
AI finds faces, skin, eyes, teeth and backdrop. Proven retouching techniques — frequency separation, dodge & burn with Curves, texture-preserving healing — do the work. You stay in control.
Runs on your computer
Retouching happens on your own GPU. No uploads, no cloud, no per-image credits — client photos never leave your machine.
Every result is a layer
Nothing is baked in. Each tool adds named, masked layers in an OpenRetouch group — adjust opacity, repaint masks, or turn anything off.
Texture stays real
Tone and texture are retouched separately, the way professionals do it. Pores, freckles and fine detail stay sharp — no plastic skin.
One panel, every tool
Heal, Dodge & Burn, Skin Tone, Mattify, Wrinkles, Eyes, Teeth, Backdrop and Fabric — in a single Photoshop panel, with Apply all.
Batch hundreds of photos
Retouch every open document or a whole folder unattended. Layered PSDs are saved next to your originals, ready to review.
Whole person, not just faces
Neck, shoulders, arms and legs are retouched too — even when clothing separates them from the face.

FAQ
Questions, answered
Does OpenRetouch upload my photos?+
No. The AI models run on your own computer through a small local service that the installer sets up. Photoshop talks to it over your machine's loopback connection only; nothing is sent to the internet.
Is the retouching destructive?+
Never. Every tool adds new, named layers with masks inside an OpenRetouch group, and every run is a single undo step. Your original pixels are never changed.
What do I need to run it?+
Adobe Photoshop 2024 (25.0) or newer on Windows 10/11 with an NVIDIA GPU (4 GB+ VRAM recommended), or macOS on Apple Silicon. 8 and 16-bit RGB documents are supported.
Is it an AI retouching plugin?+
Yes. Machine-learning models find faces, landmarks, skin, the person and the backdrop; proven retouching techniques — frequency separation, dodge & burn with Curves, texture-preserving healing — do the edit, so results stay natural and editable.
How is it different from Retouch4me?+
Both run in Photoshop on your own computer. OpenRetouch puts all tools in one panel with Apply all and batch processing, returns every result as editable masked layers, and has a free tier. Retouch4me sells separate plugins per task. See the comparison page for details.
