: If the download is a compressed package, unzip it to your main drive (e.g., the C: drive on Windows or the Downloads folder on Mac) before running the installer.

The most secure way to obtain the panel is through official channels:

: Current versions typically use a .ccx file format, which opens automatically in the Adobe Creative Cloud app for installation as a non-marketplace plugin.

: Ensure your Adobe Creative Cloud and Photoshop are updated to the latest versions before starting.

: After installation, open Photoshop, locate the panel under Plugins or Extensions , and activate it using the email associated with your member account.

: Once logged in, navigate to the Downloads tab to find the installation files for your purchased version (e.g., v3.3 or the AI-powered v5).

To download the panel (typically from Retouching Academy ), you should avoid searching for unofficial .rar or compressed files from third-party sites, as these may contain malware or outdated versions. Official Download & Installation
