Reblum Review 2026 by a Commercial Photographer: Pros, Cons & My Verdict
There’s a growing wave of AI-powered retouching tools on the market, and like many photographers, I try to keep up with the latest tech that can help streamline my workflow without sacrificing quality.
In this review, I’ll share my hands-on experience with Reblum, a skin-focused AI retouching software. I’ve previously reviewed Retouch4Me and Evoto, so this article continues the series with an honest, real-world look at how Reblum performs.
Quick summary
Reblum is an AI-powered skin retouching software designed for photographers who prioritise natural-looking results and high-volume editing. It offers unlimited exports, local file processing, batch editing, and simple controls focused solely on skin retouching. While it lacks advanced tools like masking, eye retouching, or background cleanup, Reblum excels as a fast, realistic skin-cleanup solution for portraits, fashion, weddings, and e-commerce photography.
What is Reblum?
Reblum is a dedicated AI skin-retouching software. As of January 2026, it focuses exclusively on skin clean-up and enhancement, offering two main adjustment sliders: General (fine-tuning overall skin appearance) and Texture (smoothing skin texture).
The software also includes two styles - Natural and Fashion - but these are simply presets that apply different ratios of the same two sliders, rather than separate retouching tools.

My Workflow with Reblum
In my commercial workflow, I use Reblum as a first-pass skin cleanup tool rather than a final retouching solution.
Here’s how it typically fits into my process:
I import RAW files into Capture One and do basic colour correction and exposure adjustments.
Selected images are exported as high-quality JPEGs and I process them in Reblum as a starting point for skin cleanup, and then quiet often I further process them in Evoto for advanced retouching.
As final polishing - I do the touch ups in Photoshop.
Used this way, Reblum saves me hours on repetitive skin cleanup while still leaving me full creative control at the final stage.
What I Liked - Reblum Pros
✅ Unlimited exports
Unlike credit-based platforms like Evoto, Reblum allows you to export unlimited images after purchase. This makes it a fantastic value for photographers editing large batches - e.g., wedding, e-comm, or event photographers.
✅ Very natural-looking skin retouching
Out of all the tools I’ve tested so far, Reblum delivers one of the most natural results. It avoids that dreaded over-smoothed "plastic" look, which is a win in my books. You can also adjust the opacity of effects, giving you control over how strong the edits look.
✅ Easy and efficient batch editing
Upload, tweak, batch export, and relax. Once your settings are applied to one image, Reblum can apply them to the whole batch within seconds per image. On my machine, the full process (applying the settings and exporting) usually takes around 15–20 seconds per photo.
✅ Local file processing – no internet connection is required, and your files stay 100% on your computer. I found this especially comfortable during a long flight with no internet - I could still use the tool and get through my retouching without any issues.
✅ Integration options – while my preferred workflow is using Reblum as a standalone application, it can also be integrated with Photoshop, Lightroom Classic, and Capture One.
✅ Pricing options and 7-day unlimited trial – you can choose between a monthly subscription ($11.95/month) or a one-time lifetime licence ($249), which offers a good level of flexibility, especially compared to other AI retouching software that either rely solely on a credit-based system or offer only a one-time purchase (which is often expensive). The trial version is also generous: you can edit and export an unlimited number of images during the 7-day trial period 😏
What Could Be Improved – Reblum Cons
❌ Limited functionality
At the moment, Reblum focuses only on skin. It doesn’t offer separate tools for eyes, hair, or e.g. background cleanup. If you're looking for an all-in-one AI retouching suite, this isn't it (- yet).
❌ No masking options
This one’s a biggie for me personally. You can’t manually mask or limit the effect to certain areas. The AI applies the skin retouching filter to all detected skin, which sometimes isn’t ideal. My workaround: export the image from Reblum and blend it in Photoshop with the original using masks. Still faster than manual skin retouch from scratch, but yes - it’s an extra step.
❌ Occasional face detection issues
Like many AI tools, Reblum can struggle when faces are partially obscured, tightly cropped, or turned away from the camera. There is currently no manual option to “tag” or force face detection, which limits usability for close-ups. That said, in my experience, Reblum’s face detection performs more reliably than Evoto in these more challenging scenarios.
❌ One-size-fits-all batch editing
Batch export applies the same settings to every image. If you need varying levels of retouch across a batch, you'll have to adjust each image individually, which removes some of the time-saving benefits.
Who Reblum is Best For
High-volume photographers: think wedding, family, e-comm, and events.
Those who shoot portraits with clear facial visibility and look for natural retouch.
Who It Might Not Be For
Non-human subjects - Reblum doesn't work for food, animals, products, etc at the moment.
Photographers with low editing volume – if you only edit a few photos a month, a credit-based tool like Evoto might be more cost-effective for you.
My Verdict: Is Reblum Worth It in 2026?
Reblum isn’t trying to be everything and that’s exactly its strength. It’s a focused, fast, and realistic skin-retouching tool that fits beautifully into a professional workflow.
If you’re a commercial, wedding, or portrait photographer dealing with high volumes and aiming for natural results, Reblum can easily become a time-saving staple in your editing process. Just don’t expect it to replace your entire retouching toolkit, think of it as a very efficient assistant, not the creative director.
