Retoucher is from AKVIS, a company based in Russia that specializes in graphics programs and scientific research. Apart from Retoucher, AKVIS also creates other Photoshop compatible programs like Chameleon, Stamp and Enhancer.

How To Use

  1. Using Retoucher is easy. Just select all the scratches or any other damaged areas - the easiest way to do that is to get into Quick Mask mode and paint over the required areas.

  2. Then choose Filter | AKVIS | Retoucher. This will open the Retoucher interface (see screenshot above).

  3. Click the "wrench" icon to open the Advanced Options and change settings as required.



  4. Click the "Check Mark" icon to apply the filter.

Here's a "before" and "after" sample

AKVIS Retoucher can be used for more than just scratches and damaged photographs - you can also remove the date stamps that some cameras add to photographs.
