![]() ![]() Virtually every tool and feature has seen some improvement. Don’t expect it to help out your balding uncle, though. Hairline Correction, also under Shape Controls, shifts hair down to shape and reduce an overlarge forehead, or improve a slightly receding hairline. Typically, I’d use Liquify in Photoshop for neck and shoulder slimming it’s definitely faster here. You’ll find sliders for tucking, slimming, and lengthening the neck and slimming the arms and shoulders (left, right, or individually). This is especially handy when there’s one shoulder out of view, or more than one subject in the image. Neck & Shoulders controls (in the Shape controls) automatically detect the subject’s neck and shoulders, providing additional controls for the “Shoulder Box” to tweak the area affected. Also added to this panel is a Chin slider, which will darken under the chin for a slimming effect, and works well with the new shaping capabilities for neck and shoulders. The Body Contrast slider didn’t make a ton of difference in the images on which I tested it, but if you were making dramatic image-lighting adjustments, it would be helpful in conjunction with the Lighting Brush. This slider can add or subtract body contrast, and you can toggle down to additional sliders that move the body lighting effects relative to the lighting position set in the lighting direction control, or adjust the hue and brightness of your highlights and shadows. To help give more control over body lighting, there’s now a Body Contrast slider that works with the masking controls (if you don’t have Automatically Find Background on in your preferences, you’ll need to turn on the Layers panel and give the background mask a little help). ![]() The Lighting Brush (which works like dodging and burning) has moved from the Tools panel to Lighting & Coloring where it really belongs. Working your way through the controls and sliders, combined with the sophisticated AI facial recognition and algorithms, gives you such intricate control over your images and so much potential for different looks and professional-looking final images that it feels like a waste of time and effort to do it “the right way” for all, but perhaps the most high-paying (read, demanding) clients. So let’s take a peek at what’s been added to the PortraitPro 22. Simply opening an image in PortraitPro can get you halfway there. Photographers, designers, and photo editors know that it can take many hours (and layers) to do a soup-to-nuts portrait retouch. But who doesn’t like a quality shortcut? Each time I have an opportunity to test and review PortraitPro from Anthropics (this time, PortraitPro Studio Max), I get excited to see what improvements they’ve made to what I know is already a great piece of software. ![]() Presently I only use one of the neural filters-Depth Blur to throw off the background more.Speedy Retouching that Keeps Getting BetterĪs a Photoshop user and aficionado, naturally that’s my gold standard for retouching portraits. This is an easy one for me to answer-I'm used to the Portrait Pro more than the neural filters since I have the Portrait Pro for a long time. However, the ROI In SAI is high enough to satisfy most. They have dedicated app which takes several OOF images which we use to discard and make it a keeper. What is Portrait Pro providing that PS cannot?Īn argument could be made for Topaz. I am just curious why is another portrait plugin is desired. Yes, PS Neural filters for portrait which appear to be very robust. ![]() However, PS has the neural filters that can edit portraits. I'm pretty sure it will be time consuming. I don't know how to answer your question because I never tried. So far so good but Adobe's neural filter (depth blur) also does this.ĭoes this do anything that LrC or PS does not? Probably be a few more weeks before I can download. I'll do my own presets once I get around to it. Chose the Portrait Body as the free gift. I love using 21 and looking forward to the release of 23. I've been using the Portrait Pro for years but I normally upgrade every other year. ![]()
