The
Portraiture plug-in is designed is to simplify the
process and shorten the time it takes to carry out
digital photo portrait retouching. With features
like intelligent smoothing and blemish removal, an
auto-mask feature that recognizes optimal skin tones
and controls for fine-tuning the effect, you really
can't go too far wrong. Portraiture is available
separately or as part of the Imagenomic Professional
Plug-in Suite which also includes Noiseware
Professional and RealGrain.
The
presets that come with this powerful plug-in, are
more than enough to retouch most digital images.
However for the user who requires finer control
over the look and feel of retouched images there
are a wide array of fine control sliders which
will allow exacting Retouchers to adjust things
to their hearts content.
The
plug-in is really easy to use. In fact, I very
quickly began asking myself if that was all there
was to it. Obviously, there has been a lot of effort
put into this tool and it's pretty evident when
you see just how simple it is. My only complaint
is that although I can see the benefit in time
saving alone, I can't understand why Portraiture
v1.0.1 is a full $100 more than the Noiseware
Plug-in which is also part of the Imagenomic Professional
Plug-in Suite along with Portraiture.
