The differences are sometimes so dramatic that the comparison is almost cruel. If you want to see some example, go to the online Gallery which shows some beautiful post-processed pictures along with the less-than-perfect originals.
PORTRAIT PROFESSIONAL 11 MANUAL
There is also a simple touch-up brush built in, to allow you to smooth over specific areas if the automatic enhancements need a bit of manual help. These let you do things such as brighten the iris, change the eye colour, widen the eyes, moisten the lips and enhance the cheekbones. You can also make adjustments to a broad range of parameters by moving sets of sliders in a categorised panel.
PORTRAIT PROFESSIONAL 11 SOFTWARE
If the software fails to identify the correct elements of a face – for example, if it doesn’t quite find the exact outlines of the eyes – you can make fine adjustments using the mouse. You just load up a photo, let the software automatically determine the position of eyes, nose, mouth and chin, then use one of the male or female presets to process the image to look its most flattering for a person within a specific age range. And you don’t even need to be an expert digital artist to accomplish this. It can remove the shine from a greasy skin, make a pasty face look lightly tanned, smooth out the pimples, plump up the lips and slim down puffy cheeks. Portrait Professional can, in fact, give your photographs a digital makeover which, in real life, would take the combined skills of a plastic surgeon, fitness instructor and makeup artist. On the other hand, who among us would want our pictures to appear in print or on the web complete with high-definition spots and wrinkles when a little bit of pre-processing could make us look just that little bit better? People worry that perfect-looking people set standards of appearance that are impossible for people in the real world to achieve. Every once in a while a story about some cover or advertising model who has been digitally improved hits the newspaper headlines. In recent years, photographic enhancement has sometimes become a controversial subject.
PORTRAIT PROFESSIONAL 11 SKIN
I began by selecting a set of automatic enhancements – then I changed a few additional parameters in the panels on the right to change the skin tone, whiten the teeth and brighten the eyes. Here (on a Mac) you see an original photograph on the left and the digitally enhanced version on the right.
In short, it can take years off your life in a matter of moments.
Not any longer! Portrait Professional is an image editing program that not only smooths out the wrinkles but also tans the skin, whitens the teeth and adds a sparkle to the eyes. Not so long ago, the airbrush in Photoshop might have been considered to be the ultimate tool for touching up portrait photographs.
