It does the pass you would otherwise do by hand on every frame: spots, skin, tone, teeth, eyes, hair, light. Your own Photoshop actions become steps in the workflow, so the app drives Photoshop instead of you driving it. You still open the files that deserve your judgement, just not all of them.
Retouching on your own hardware — no upload, no queue, no credits — is the Studio plan. The app itself is free, and every cloud AI process runs on it, paid by the credit.

runs the retouch on your own hardware from the Studio plan up — no upload, no queue, no credits.
Ten stages, in the order the engine runs them. One real frame, straight off the card, with nothing done to it by hand. Keep scrolling to build the retouch.
Local · no upload
Run it through Photoshop and each process is stamped onto its own named layer instead of merged down, then saved as a layered .psd. Turn one down, paint one out, keep the rest. Needs Photoshop installed, on the plans that include workflow and Service Mode runs.

Retouching never leaves your computer. No upload, no queue, no credits. macOS and Windows.
Sign in once to activate the licence; it is cached on the machine, so day-to-day retouching keeps working offline. Cloud AI, galleries and booking need a connection.
RAW files are developed locally before anything else touches them, then handed to Camera Raw with your settings intact.
Import the Photoshop actions you already use and chain them into a workflow that runs on every frame. It drives Photoshop rather than replacing it, keeping per-step layers, masks and a layered PSD. Building your own steps is a Studio feature.
Local retouching never uploads a photo. Cloud AI is opt-in per image, and what it costs is shown before you run it.
Drop the cards in a watch folder. Your workflow runs on every frame while you sleep. Review in the morning, then send the gallery link.
yourstudio.image57.com. They find you, book, plan the session, choose what to retouch, collect the photos and come back. You never send a file by hand. The whole client side starts on the Creator plan.

No subscription on the paid plans: each is a single payment that never expires. Cloud AI is metered in credits on every plan, free included, and bought only when you use it.
Credits are the same price on every plan: 1,050 for $9.99, 2,750 for $24.99, 5,700 for $49.99. Work that runs on your own hardware never spends one.
The app itself, on both platforms, with Im.Age 57 Manager beside it: cull a shoot, label it, build and run your own workflows, and let AutoRaw read your RAW files and write the Camera Raw settings for you. Every cloud AI process is open to you too, paid by the credit. What the paid plans buy is the automation and the studio side — Photoshop plugin steps and your client-facing pages on Creator, automatic RAW opening and the working tools on Photographer, and the retoucher that runs on your own machine on Studio.
The engines were tuned on real studio work by a working photographer, with a focus on the skin tones most tools get wrong. Compare it side by side with what you use now.
Yes, if you have Photoshop. Runs that go through it keep every process on its own layer with its own mask, and save a layered .psd rather than a flattened file.
The work that runs on your own machine does, once you have signed in the first time — the licence is cached there. That is the Studio plan and up. Cloud AI, galleries, portfolio and booking need a connection wherever you are, because they live on the web.
Both. There is an installer for each, and the same plans apply to either.
No. Creator, Photographer and Studio are each a single payment that never expires, and there is nothing to re-bill. The only recurring cost is credits, and only if you choose to run cloud AI.
Install it free, and grow into the rest when the studio does.
