Hue and the Hue Photoshop plugin allow retouchers to do their best work as part of internal post-production processes. But before great retouching can happen, effective task management is key. The Hue Desktop App connects directly with Creative Force to empower retouchers to take on the right tasks efficiently, confidently, and with all the right tools for asset management.
Interface Map
With the Hue Desktop App launched, you will find the main interface divided into sections. The header where settings, filtering, and views are managed– the task kanban tabs, where individual production tasks are organized by status– and the task list, where available tasks can be reviewed and actioned on.

to directly pick & initiate the task in Photoshop.
Reject Task
When the selected task has a Rejection Transition set up and associated with the Internal Post step of its Workflow, additional actions will become available in its QC.

On the left-hand side, select the asset you wish to mark for rejection. | On the right-hand side, above the detail view, select the mark for rejection icon.  |
Once all desired assets in the task have been marked for rejection, select the target Workflow step to reject to from the drop-down, then hit 
just to the right.
You will be taken to the Markup & Instruction screen, where you can add annotations to explain your rejection for each asset. Then, hit
