Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first

GPA, above 63 of the 168 other AI image and video generators we grade
Retouch4me sells AI retouching tools for photographers and videographers. Its plugins handle skin, teeth, eyes, dust, backdrops and color matching, and run inside Photoshop and other editors.

The report card
Best for AI skin and portrait retouching plugins
Retouch4me sells AI retouching plugins for skin, teeth, eyes and colour that run inside Photoshop and other editors, plus the Apex plugin and Arams culling. Start is $14.08 a month billed yearly. Only two plugins are free, yearly billing is forced on every plan, and unused credits vanish if you cancel.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | Start is $169 a year ($14.08 a month), between the middle and dearer quarter of AI image tools. Perpetual plugins start at $145 each. |
| Free plan and trial | C | Two plugins are free, Frequency Separation and Color Match Free. The retouching itself is paid. |
| Features | C | Skin, eye, teeth and dust plugins, Apex, culling and video plugins. The page says the generative features are still to come in Apex. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. You install plugins into Photoshop or another editor and set them up. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Mac and Windows with the web, and 7 integrations, but no phone apps. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Retouch4me is for
- Fits if you retouch portraits in Photoshop and want a plugin to do the repetitive work
- Works for studios that want a perpetual licence with local processing
Who it is not for
- Skip it if you want month-to-month plans: Start, Pro and Business are billed yearly
- Watch out: unused credits are forfeited, without a refund, if you cancel
- Tight if you're staying free, with just two free plugins
- Watch out: the $20, $35 and $90 monthly prices may be the standard rate, since yearly plans carry a Limited Offer label
- Not for you if you have an older computer: the vendor recommends a powerful one for local processing
Good to know
Good for
- Portrait, wedding and event photographers retouching in Photoshop
- Studios that want to buy plugins once rather than subscribe
- Retouchers who want automatic culling before editing
Worth knowing
- Subscriptions are billed yearly on Start, Pro and Business; unused credits are forfeited without refund when a subscription is canceled.
- Perpetual plugins run locally without internet but the vendor recommends a powerful computer.
- The yearly plans carry a Limited Offer label, so the monthly-billed $20, $35 and $90 may be the standard rate.
- Generative credits are listed on each plan, but the page says generative features are still to come in Apex.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace Retouch4me you would be making a video editor. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It costs $168.96 a year.
What you could not
- A video editor.
- A real app for macOS and Windows. Something home-made would be a web page.
- It plugs into other products, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Lightroom and Capture One among them.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. Retouch4me’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
