![]() ![]() There’s not much to find fault with in this panel, although a couple of special effects features included for painting and grunge looks seem out of place in context with the rest of the panel’s functionality. More specific techniques are available for detailed work on makeup, eyes, skin correction, and hair. The color-grading section makes it easy to apply common looks to a series of images for thematic consistency. Another powerful addition is using smart filters for Liquify, which lets you update prior retouching elements without losing work on reshaping features. Selection, healing, and brush tools are given their own space at the top, along with Undo and Redo buttons that allow you to step forward and backward through history. The majority of tasks related to retouching portraits can be accomplished directly from the panel. But you can easily modify or choose other tools as you go.

Also included are a few preset color-grading styles for popular looks, along with some RAW filters that can be loaded in Camera Raw or Lightroom. The User Actions buttons can be assigned using the Actions panel, allowing you to combine existing actions or easily use your own favorite custom actions from the same interface.
