Portrait Professional

The extremely high definition that current digital photography offers—including the pictures we take with our ever-evolving smartphones—produces perfect portraits where we (and others) can see every single blemish present in our facial features.

Thankfully, PortraitPro comes to the rescue with an AI-powered set of algorithms capable of turning our portrait photos into perfect shots.

PortraitPro can work with either individual pictures or a batch of them. The program offers a series of overall smoothing and enhancing features that can be applied automatically to a set of portraits to help you gain time. After this first facelift, you can work on each of them individually to remove or improve specific features manually.

The program’s AI-based algorithms will recognize any faces in your picture together with everything else around them. Thus, it will treat each portrait in a specific way depending on the age and gender of the subject, and will locate all their facial features (eyes, eyebrows, mouth, nose, hair, etc.) and the background around them.

Working with the impressive set of tools that PortraitPro provides cannot be simpler. To name but a few, I can mention the skin smoothing tool, its full-range digital makeup, the option to change the hair color in a snap, or the program’s eye enhancement utilities. Its slide-based technology makes the entire retouching process easy and rewarding. It always takes time, patience, and a steady hand to deal with certain blemishes or makeup techniques, but the results always pay off.

The program works with all the most common image file formats, including those offering the highest quality possible, such as RAW, DNG, TIFF, and PNG. PortraitPro comes in three different flavors—Standard, Studio (with RAW support), and Studio Max (with Batch Mode on top of everything else). AI is not cheap, so be prepared to pay a substantial fee for the PortraitPro version that better fits your needs.
