How does the automatic touch-up work?

Portrait Professional has been shown hundreds of photographs of beautiful human faces, and using sophisticated statistical techniques, it has learnt how to subtly airbrush and touch-up photographs to make them more beautiful.

All you have to do is choose how much to enhance the lighting, the skin texture and even how many wrinkles to remove. You can even subtly re-sculpt the face to make your subject look as good as possible by just moving a few sliders.

Portrait Professional touches up and enhances people in the same way that good lighting and perfect makeup is used to make someone look more attractive. The software really can make anyone look as good as a celebrity in a magazine.

Why not use Photoshop as your portrait touch-up software?

After enhancement with Portrait Professional

It is true that most of these improvements can be made using traditional photo editing software such as PhotoShop. However, it would take a skilled touch-up artist many hours to perform the tricky manual airbrush and touch-up operations that would be necessary.

Portrait Professional allows unskilled users to get sophisticated fully professional touch-up in minutes. For the first time portrait photo software for all!

Even experienced PhotoShop users have been impressed at the speed with which they can get a totally natural looking airbrushed touch-up, just by moving sliders.

And less skilled Photoshop users would quite simply be unable to get as good a photo touch-up however many hours they spent.

Just because Portrait Professional is easy to use, does not mean it limits your ability to airbrush your portraits just how you want them. The difference is that where in Photoshop you would use a brush, which requires patience and skill, in Portrait Professional you use sliders, which are easy.


Portrait Professional's intelligent photo enhancement - photo editing without painting.

Portrait Professional works in a completely different way to ordinary airbrushing and photo editing software such as Photoshop.

This portrait enhancement software has been trained with hundred of examples of human beauty, and as a result you can add as much or as little photo enhancement as required - by simply moving sliders.

In fact due to the innate knowledge of human beauty built into the software, the highest quality photo touch-up can be achieved by unskilled users in a few minutes - with absolutely minimal training

After a simple mark-up stage where you identify a few points on the face, Portrait Professional photo editing software gives you many controls to enhance your portrait.

Face reshaping

Portrait Professional is the only photo editing software that gives you the ability to subtly reshape and beautify facial features, simply by moving sliders.

We have found this unique feature of Portrait Professional to be the most contentious, since some regard actually changing the shape of the face as going to far when enhancing an image. For those people, the shape sliders can of course be left at 0 and Portrait Professional will not change the shape. However, before dismissing this effect as "cheating", we urge you to try it - you will be amazed that sometimes a very subtle change to the shape can lead to a dramatic improvement to the subject!

Skin enhancement

Portrait Professional allows you to selectively remove or reduce wrinkles, spots and other skin defects while retaining the original skin texture. And all this can be done just by moving sliders.

Eyes and teeth whitening

The portrait enhancement software can also automatically whiten both teeth and eyes, and offers controls for both the degree of whiteness and the extent of the area to be whitened.

Lighting

Uniquely, this photo editing software also lets you enhance the lighting on the subject's face via simple controls.

Removing spots

Portrait Professional has a unique ability to detect and remove most spots completely automatically. Freckles can also be automatically detected and reduced or eliminated.

Red eye removal

There is literally nothing to do to remove the problems caused by red eye, it is turned on by default.
