With his script, you can work on a merged layer and then simply click on a button to delete the pixels that haven't been changed compared to the layers below! This way you get the best of both worlds: a non-destructive workflow and the speed of use of the spot healing brush tool. Wallstrom designed a script to solve this very issue. However, a merged layer breaks the non-destructive workflow. If you want to learn all about the difference this dodging and burning method makes, be sure to watch the video below.Īnd one last script I have to mention is the one that removes identical pixels! While healing on a blank layer is best practice to keep the workflow as non-destructive as possible, it limits the use of the spot healing brush tool and also the tools' blending modes, which is why working on a merged layer often makes it much easier and faster. I've been working with the panel for over a week now, and I must admit that while the difference is subtle, it's visible and could potentially save time on your color correction process. They create your typical dodging and burning curves but with two points to keep the color shift to a minimum. The scripts rely on non-destructive and industry-standard techniques so that you can edit as any high-end retoucher would.Īmong the improved features, you'll find in the Wallstrom's workflow panel dedicated dodging and burning scripts. You'll find all the necessary scripts, arranged in a well thought-out layout, ranging from dodging and burning to creating the folder structure to keep layers organized. Wallstrom is the brain behind the app, and he designed this add-on to help streamline any retoucher's workflow. The first add-on you'll notice when installing RTK 3.1 is the Conny Wallstrom Workflow add-on. With 3.1, add-ons have become available, and scripts have been redesigned for a better experience and improved performances. The scripts available were the same as well, and the significant improvement was the possibility to create custom panels. In the previous version, the Toolkit was delivered with a similar panel to what RTK (Retouching Toolkit) 2.0 offered. Speaking of add-ons, they are probably the most noticeable change found in the Retouching Toolkit 3.1. The Retouching Toolkit is composed of an app that integrates with Photoshop to design your own custom panels and of add-ons to simplify and improve your workflow. In essence, the Retouching Toolkit is what Adobe Configurator should have become if Adobe had kept it alive and decided to make it better. A little while ago, 3.1 was introduced, and while not revolutionary, it still manages to improve on the previous qualities of the extension.
If you are a long-time Fstoppers reader, you may have read my previous review of the Retouching Toolkit 2.0 and then, the updated review I did when 3.0 was released.
It helps streamline one's editing workflow, improves Photoshop's interface, and with the latest update, it's getting one step closer to becoming the only Photoshop plugin you could ever need. The Retouching Toolkit is, without a doubt, the best Photoshop extension I have tried yet.
