Portrait Professional




Portrait Professional Rocks
this is a new retouch software that I got over the Internet and I think it's real great. The best part about it is that it is real fast. I retouched this same photo in Photo-shop and it took me about 20min to finish I used several layers and a lot of stamp tool and it came out pretty good, I did the same shot in Portrait professional and it took me 2 min. from open to save. That's fast ...super fast. I think the final result is was better than my photo-shop attempt. The Portrait Professional smoothed evened out the skin whitened the eyes and the teeth and removed small wrinkles automatically. Then I used the detail brush”. to hit any thing that it missed. Portrait Professional will also reshape the face to, “make it more beautiful” and as scary as that sounds it does work and you can dial it up or down separate from the skin details or turn it off completely. The best thing about the skin detail is that is leaves the skin texture and removes the blotches and wrinkles so the shot doesn't look over touched or super soft. The software it very easy to use. All you do is map the face with the outline it provided and tell it to process the shot, and boom your done. If you want to turn the effects up or down then just save the shot and move on to the next shot. Like I said it takes about 2 min. for each shot from open to save so you could retouch all of you shots and your client won't ever have to see a single untouched shot. I think it is worth a look you can download a free trial that you can play with it, however, if you want to save anything, it will cost you $60.00. That is a pretty good deal I think check it out at http://www.portraitprofessional.com/
