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.
