Retouch4me has combined their neural networks into a single super-plugin for portrait retouching.
The renowned developer of AI-based photo and video retouching solutions has released a new tool—the Apex plugin. Heal, Dodge&Burn, Portrait Volumes, Eye Brilliance, White Teeth, Skin Tone, Fabric, and more—over ten tools for creating perfect portraits. Simply adjust intensity sliders, preview results in real time, and achieve natural-looking retouching in less than a minute.
The AI retouches not only faces but the entire body.
This unique plugin detects all skin areas on the body, effectively addressing issues like bruises on legs.

What Apex can do:
• Perform face lifting, enhancing portraits according to Leonardo da Vinci’s golden ratio proportions.
• Remove skin imperfections, such as pimples and under-eye bags, while preserving natural skin texture.
• Gently smooth wrinkles and eliminate age-related pigmentation.
• Add depth and deliver a magazine-quality look to portraits.
• Correct skin tone.
• Whiten teeth.
• Enhance eye expressiveness.
• Remove unwanted clothing wrinkles and clean studio backgrounds.

Apex instantly elevates photo quality and frees photographers from routine tasks. The software is so user-friendly, anyone can use it.

“We designed our neural networks to allow layered result-saving. Usually, one plugin equals one neural network and one layer in Photoshop. However, this approach isn’t very convenient for photographers who just want a ready-to-use retouched image,” says Oleg Sharonov, founder and lead developer at Retouch4me. “Users want it even simpler: upload a photo, press one button, and get an excellent portrait. Apex answers this need—all our best plugins combined into one.”

Batch-process entire photo series with just one click!
The plugin lets you save settings and batch-process entire photo sessions. Wedding, school, studio, newborn, or event photographers will especially appreciate this new capability, which reduces post-processing time dramatically.

Cloud retouching eliminates high hardware requirements.
Photo processing happens on Retouch4me’s servers, removing the need for powerful gaming-grade hardware. Apex can be used as a plugin in Adobe Photoshop or as standalone software.

Affordable pricing starting at just $0.06 per portrait.
The minimum monthly subscription is $20 for 200 retouches. A one-time permanent package is available for $20 for 100 retouches. The most cost-effective plan offers 1,500 retouches for only $90.

Every new Retouch4me user receives a free trial—20 cloud-based retouches (no credit card required).

Panasonic interview by Imaging Resource

Imaging Resource had a short chat with Panasonic managers back at the Cp+ show

Still committed to fixed lens compact cameras:

While attention is being drawn to mirrorless cameras, we will continue to steadily improve compact cameras while keeping an eye on market needs.

On why the Lumix G97 has no PDAF:

To be honest, the biggest factor is cost. Developing new sensors involves significant investment, so it becomes difficult to offer them at a reasonable price for customers. That’s really the main issue.

FF users buying MFT:

We’re also seeing customers who already own a full-frame camera from another brand, and they’re buying a Micro Four Thirds model as a second camera — specifically for use cases where they want to attach a telephoto zoom, for example. We see that kind of user as another important secondary target for the G97, and I think it’s worth mentioning that here.
