Greate Photoshop plug-ins for professional photo retouching. Power Retouche Photoshop plug-ins for high quality photo retouching and image editing. 8 and 16 bit. Supports RGB, CMYK, Lab, Grayscale, Duotone.

Windows version is for all versions of Photoshop, Elements, Fireworks, Paint Shop Pro, Corel Draw, Illustrator and other software that supports Photoshop plug-ins.

Power Retouche is a comprehensive set of tools, but they are easy to learn to use.
Though they offer really advanced retouching possibilities, they are also quite simple to use.
The basic lay-out of each plug-in is similar and the basic tools for controlling the retouch are the same in all the plug-ins. So if you learn to use one, you will be able to use the rest without any steep learning curve.

1. Black & White Studio
Convert color to black and white photography. Use: light sensitivity of professional films (like Tri-X) or set your own sensitivity curves; color-filters (yellow, orange, etc.); multigrade range 00 to 5; exposure equivalent to f-stops; highlight and shadow control; zone adjustments ... and much more.

2. Black definition
Control black in photos as if it were a color channel. Target changes to colors or gray areas. The plastic 3D sense in a photo is greatly enhanced when the black definition is raised. Reducing black definition makes colors more vivid without raising their saturation. Also use this plug-in to brighten sullied photos without actually altering brightness.

3. Golden Section
Instantly draw any divine proportion on your image or a transparent layer as an aid for cropping and composition. This plug-in draws the golden sections, golden spiral, golden triangles, spiral sections, rule of thirds and harmonic triangles. It handles any proportions.

4. Toned Photos
Tone your photo sepia or like any other traditional toned print. Nine preset tones: Sepia, Van Dyck, Kallitype, Silver Gelatin, Palladium, Platinum, Cyanotype, Light Cyanotype and Silver. Adjust the preset tones, or create your own. It has colored lens-filters for the B/W conversion. The plug-in copies the pigmentation distribution of the traditional toned photo printing techniques.

5. Color fringe remover
Full control over the fringe color and fringe detection, Remove two fringe colors, or use double pass filtering, Full control over color correction, saturation and brightness, Not only removes the fringe color, but reconstructs the underlying color

6. Lens Corrector
Correct lens-distortions from zoom, tele, wide-angle, and even panorama lenses. Remove barreling and pincushion distortion. Very intuitive to use and extremely flexible. This is the only software available for panorama photo distortions.

7. Soft-filter
This plug-in does exactly the same as traditional lens soft-filters. Control the strength of the softness and the spread of the softness. It does not blur the image. It can also be used as a noise filter.

8. Sharpness Editor
Sharpen photos with our plug-ins novel unsharp masks. Our Sharpness Editor does not create edgelines or artifacts as regular unsharp mask does. Restrict sharpening to edges only, or blur selected colors, hues or shades in order to manipulate the focus. Optional anti-aliasing can be used to avoid edge roughness. Also has a novel soft threshold as well as classic hard.

9. Equalizer
Full control over the amount of equalization, Novel equalization methods, Adjust amount of equalization in lights, midtones and darks, Apply graduated equalization, Restrict equalization to a specific color range

10. Film Grain
Add film grain to your digital photos. This plug-in accurately emulates traditional film grain - both black & white and color. You get control over intensity, size and contrast as well as the softness/hardness of the grain.

11. Radial density Corrector
Correct radial exposure and radial brightness independently. Control the radius and the fade-out of the exposure correction. The plug-in has built-in smart error diffusion algorithms to avoid "ringing" - circle-formations as a side-effect of a gradated strictly circular exposure or brightness correction.

12. Dynamic Range Compressor
HDR & Shadow illumination without artifacts such as ghosting (edge halos) or fake illumination. Compress lights as well as darks. One has full control over all aspects of dynamic range correction - like black point, offset, shadow depth, saturation, etc.

13. Graduated Color
Apply one or two graduated colors when retouching. Either in regular mode or our novel photographic mode for optimum retouching results. Instantly set the oposite sides of the filter to complementary colors. Shift the midpoint and contrast as you please.

14. Illumination Editor
Change or edit the illumination and shade in a photo, Set the direction of the light to any angle of 360 degrees, Raise or lower exposure and/or brightness independently, Create graduated transparency for correction layers.

15. Contrast Editor
Control black-white contrast independent of color-contrast and without changing the color or saturation. Control the midtones by setting how much they should be preserved or lost. Our general contrast slider quickly improves the black-white contrast, color-contrast and saturation in one go. Improve the light in the photo by shifting the mean towards light or dark.

16. Exposure Corrector
Correct under- or overexposure. One can do this either in the entire photo or in selected or restricted areas such as the shadows. Target-mode lets you correct exposure in any range of darks, midtones or lights - typically you'll want to re-expose shadows or lower highlights. This is an ideal pair with our Dynamic Range Compressor

17. Color Corrector
For color correction and removing colorcast. Select a color, hue and/or brightness-range and change it any way you like. Shift the color spectrum of the entire image or a selected hue or brightness-range by rotating the color wheel. In the example, we targeted the reflected lights in the girls face and made them brighter, warmer and more vivid by rotating the color circle a bit. This is good for colorcast.

18. White-balance Corrector
Auto-mode calibrates the correct color-filter for any light source. Even mixed neon + halon, the worst challenge to photographers, is easily color corrected by the plug-in. Manual mode has a slider for daylight-film and incandescent-film color-correction filters equal to Kodak Wratten 80A to 85B (in Europe B&W KB15 to KR15 - the plug-in control uses these steps).

19. Saturation Editor
Now you can edit saturation without splitting the image up into primary colors - red, green, blue. The plug-in operates with a full 360 color wheel. All colors, hues, tonal variations and shades are preserved. Also the plug-in does not alter brightness. Four modes of saturating.

20. Noise Corrector
The plug-in has five different methods to filter noise in digital photographs and images. Soft Focus retains sharpness while removing noise. Also: Film-grain leveling ... Median ... Hue preserving Despeckle. The plug-in even has an intelligent mask for preserving details and drawing.

21. Anti-aliasing
Filter edge roughness and jagged edges in graphics and images. Also for anti-aliasing photos at large. Web graphics improve with anti-alias filtering, because they are often down-scaled significantly and need much sharpening. All the images on this web page have been greatly scaled down, then sharpened with our plugin and finally anti-alias filtered. (Example 300%).

22. Edgeline drawing
Convert photos and images to line-drawings. Set the color of both line and background. Optional transparent background. The plug-in can emulate toneline lithfilm to create line drawings that differ from regular edge-detection such as Photoshop's "Find edges". The example was made with toneline set to an exposure direction of 45 . The plug-in offers you four exposure directions.

23. Posterizer
With this plug-in you can posterize color hues and values independently and freely select any number of levels for either. The filter lets you apply blending modes, known from Photoshop's layers, to mix the posterized image with the original photo for more aesthetically pleasing posterizations.

24. Transparency Editor
Transparent backgrounds and masks can easily be made for graphic design. Here we cut out letters from a sunset and also used the transparency plug-in to transpose the bevel from the original letters to the graphic. Use the progressive transparency to improve scans by combining two scans of an image - one for correct midtones and lights, one for correct midtones and darks.

25. Brightness Editor
The Brightness Editor plug-in lets you edit brightness with full color-preservation. You can preserve or reduce color freely. It is well suited to be used in conjunction with the Exposure Editor and when working with selections, also for fading background images in graphic design and web design.
