#Professional portrait retouching software pro#
Many pro photographers I know are spending time retouching when they should be shooting or marketing. In the end, perhaps the most important feature of PP10 is its ability to save time. In this instance, I took this image of Chloe Robidas and used my “Senior Girl” preset, then went to the Picture Controls sliders and bumped up the contrast, vibrance, and saturation.
Above: The highly saturated, high-contrast look is currently in favor with high school seniors. I found the Touch Up Brush to be excellent on blemishes but I still need to use Photoshop for the dark eye lines. I’ll be anxious to see if my clients notice! I did use the Touch Up Brush on a small blemish also. Top: After I set all the sliders where I liked, I saved them as a preset for “Senior Girl.” I moved the Face Sculpt slider from the default of 39 to 25 for less shaping and also increased the eye whitening and brightening a bit. The pro gets a sophisticated program that can be used on its own or as a Photoshop plug-in, both ways cutting retouching time down significantly and perhaps removing the need to resort to using Photoshop for the initial tasks.
The amateur gets a stand-alone program that gets the job done quickly with only a few minutes required to learn the basics. So who would benefit from this product, the pro or the amateur? Easy-both. Both did an excellent job: the Spot Healing Brush in Photoshop seemed to make the blemish disappear, while PP10 kept some of the redness-maybe it considers that more “lifelike.” To test the ClearSkin2 technology, I retouched a blemish with both PP10 and Photoshop using the Spot Healing Brush.

According to the website, there is new ClearSkin2 ultra natural skin regeneration technology, a child mode, improved facial shaping controls, and better presets. Since I’ve been using the program for a while, I naturally wanted to see what’s new with Version 10. You have to be very careful with the pupil and adjust so the guides are smaller than the pupil itself or you’ll see a circular line around it. I used the Touch Up Brush on Emma to remove a spot over her eye and a small blemish by her lips. Using the default settings, the program easily handles the face when it is faced more directly toward the camera.
