What sets v3.3 apart is the "Visualize" feature. When activated, it creates a temporary black-and-white adjustment layer with high contrast. This allows the retoucher to see flaws in skin tone that are invisible to the naked eye, ensuring a flawless gradient of light across the face. The panel also includes specialized D&B helpers, like "Highlight Shadows," which can quickly lift shadows or lower highlights globally with a simple slider, non-destructively.

Create the panel’s smart workflow (Frequency Separation + D&B groups), fix big blemishes on the texture (High) layer, correct color/tones on the Low layer, sculpt features with low‑opacity dodge & burn, apply subtle eye/teeth/lip enhancements, finish with global color grade and targeted sharpening—always preserving texture and working non‑destructively.

Helps balance variations in skin color across the face and body.
