Correcting Color Issues
Color Correction is One of the Most Common Post Production Tasks
Makeup colors rarely get photographed true to how they are perceived by the naked eye during the shoot. This is due to the nature of strobe lighting and other variables like camera and file processing settings (your monitor calibration matters too).
Color corrections are especially important when retouching content for beauty brands to ensure appropriate skin tones and makeup products’ colors.
We’ve created our Color Corrector scripts (circle buttons) following the guidance of the professional Makeup Artist, Photographer, and Educator Jordan Liberty.

Retouching Panels Support & Updates
Please refer to our FAQ page for instant answers or contact our Support Team, we are always here to help!
With an active Support & Maintenance subscription, you will have access to the updated installation files free of charge via your Member Account on our RA Lab website that is hosting our panels, every time Adobe releases new Photoshop versions.
🧨 We encourage you to hold off updating Photoshop to the latest versions as soon as they come out if you are using any third-party plugins for your work.
When a Photoshop update causes errors in plugins, it typically takes a couple of days for developers to identify the issue, re-code and release the new updated version of the plugin.
If you are eager to update, please consider keeping the previous version of Photoshop on your computer just in case the plugins you rely on for work stop functioning because of the Photoshop update.
We announce when our panels are updated via our newsletter, on our social media pages, and in our Facebook group.
