Before
When you first start shooting portraits, it can be hard to see on the camera’s rear screen the true potential that lies ahead when you post-process your image. Whether you are a purist, a light retoucher or someone who likes to fully enhance the natural details already in a raw, it’s likely that you will apply some touchups in post.
Even the most hands-off photographer will need to add some contrast and tonal adjustments to a flat raw file. If you shoot raw, these files are meant to be retouched: they are flat so that you can bring out their full potential afterwards. Anthropics’ PortraitPro Studio 19 gives you the power to get stuck in and micro-adjust almost every detail within your portrait.
After
PortraitPro Studio continues to develop. With its new ClearSkin 5 technology, it can map the contours and features of a subject’s face retouch skin accordingly. It also replicates the face’s natural skin texture, allowing yo to subtly remove blemishes.
