RA Beauty Retouch Panel 3.1 With Pixel Juggler For PS 2018 Crack
Sandrine Willert
I absolutely infinitely and wholeheartedly love beauty photography and retouching. I especially love working with colleagues and clients who realize that retouching is a means to elevate an image, but it is not supposed to be fixing mistakes and shortcomings of the team.
It all starts with a beautiful professional model, who not only takes a very good care of her skin and overall appearance, but also knows how to look into the camera, how to take my direction, how to turn her head to show her best angles. Not every professional model is necessarily a good beauty model, and I have so much love and respect for good beauty models.
If you are looking for a smart Photoshop plugin that can help you simplify and speed up your beauty retouching workflow, you might want to check out the RA Beauty Retouch Panel v3.0 Pixel Juggler for Photoshop CS6 - CC 2015 42.

To install this panel, you need to have Adobe Photoshop CS6 or later versions for Windows or Mac OS. You also need to download the installation CCX file and the additional features installer from the Retouching Academy website[^1^]. After downloading, follow these steps:
The RA Beauty Retouch Panel v3.0 Pixel Juggler for Photoshop CS6 - CC 2015 42 consists of two panels: the Beauty Retouch panel and the Pixel Juggler panel. The Beauty Retouch panel contains buttons and sliders that perform various retouching tasks, such as frequency separation, dodge and burn, color correction, sharpening, noise reduction, etc. The Pixel Juggler panel contains buttons that access regularly used Photoshop functions, such as liquify, clone stamp, healing brush, etc. You can switch between the two panels by clicking on their names at the top of the panel group.
To use this panel, you need to have a retouched image open in Photoshop. You can then select the buttons or sliders that correspond to the retouching steps that you want to apply. For example, if you want to do frequency separation on your image, you can click on the FS button on the Beauty Retouch panel and adjust the radius slider to suit your image resolution. The panel will create two layers: a low-frequency layer that contains the color information and a high-frequency layer that contains the texture information. You can then use different tools to work on these layers separately.
The panel also allows you to add custom user actions that you have created or downloaded from other sources. You can do this by clicking on the + button on the bottom right corner of the panel and selecting your action from the list. You can then assign a name and an icon to your action and place it on any of the four custom buttons on the panel.

Since its first version, Photoshop has changed quite a lot. The functionalities it offers are greater now than ever before. But plugins are legion and for beginners it is hard to differentiate the ones that are truly useful and those that are just a waste of money. The Retouching Academy Beauty Panel has been around for a little while and was revamped very recently. I use it all the time when retouching but I get many questions about it. I am frequently asked if it is worth its price and if it makes my retouching any better. Here is my take on the panel, why I bought it, and above all, why I keep using it everyday.
The panel will not make creative decisions or do the work for you, it will be there to help you accelerate your workflow by creating the layers and adjustments you need for high-end retouching. What does this mean? If you need to create a frequency separation or dodge and burn layers, with the panel you only have to click on a button to create these layers instead of having to go through the whole process you would normally have to.
I am sure when reading that some of you will tell me how great actions and scripts are. Sure, you can do the same with actions and scripts, but the panel has a great advantage over both of them. Actually more than one advantage! First, actions have their limits and some techniques cannot really be put into actions without having to use scripts. Scripts, on the other hand, are way more advanced and they are awesome. Scripts are actually what is behind the buttons of the panel. However, if you are not into JavaScript or Apple Script, good luck trying to create your own.
Photographers that see me using the panel often ask me if the panel improved my retouching. This is kind of a tricky question. I do feel like it made my retouching better, and here is why and how. To me, retouching is about spending as little time as possible in front of my computer and getting the best result possible within that time. So yes, the panel definitely made me a better retoucher because I can retouch faster than before and in turn makes my time more profitable as I can edit more pictures within the same time.
It will also help you stay organized because the panel is created in the way that most retouchers edit their files. Meaning you will find dodge and burn right below common tools, then comes the frequency separation, and finally functionalities for skin and makeup. At the bottom of the panel you can also find quality control features as well as the most used adjustment layers that could come in handy any time during your retouching.
So did it make me a better retoucher? Well, yes, my files are more organized than before, and my workflow is quicker so I spend less time in front of my computer. Did it make my images look better? Somehow, I could say yes too because the panel helps me to be more structured in my workflow. By having a more consistent editing process, my images are getting better and more consistent too.
Currently priced at $69, the panel is not very expensive. Most likely after one shoot it will already be paid for. If, like me, you hate going through processes that could be automated, the panel is made for you. If you are lazy, not well organized in your retouching, or are looking something that will help you speed up your retouching, you should definitely give the panel a try.
When I first discovered it, I was not all that convinced about it. I thought it was pricey for what it did. But looking back now and seeing how much faster I can retouch an image using the panel makes it worth the money spent. No more fumbling around with actions and scripts from 20 different sources I found somewhere, somehow on the Internet. The panel gives me the tools I need to retouch my images quickly and efficiently, all in one single place, and it does the job it is meant for amazingly well.
If you are looking for Instagram-like vintage filters or added grain functionalities, this plugin is not made for you. But if you want to speed up your retouching, concentrate only on your work and not on details such as the offset or scale needed for a frequency separation in 8-bit, then this is a must have.
Hi Chris, thank you for your kind words!
Please check the Video Tutorials which are available to the official users on the website - there's a tutorial on the Magic Skin Tone script. We're planning to do more though, so hopefully that will be helpful!
Hi Julia,
am trying to install the free PIXEL JUGGLER but not succeed.
I have the last Extension manager. It tells me "Invalid signature".
I really want to buy the BEAUTY RETOUCH PANEL, but i want to be sure i will be able to install it.
Thank you,
Teiki
It's just that lately I noticed that Fstoppers writers seemed to write a lot of reviews for products and workshops created by other fstoppers writers which is why it looks like you guys are writing disguised ads for each other. Maybe I am just being paranoid but it feels like 50% of what you guys post these days are these "positive reviews".
