Just as a reference I am including her non retouched portrait.
She is what you call the inner glow type. I have 18 and like it but seldom need to use it. Mika looks great without any retouching at all. PortraitPro 18 or 19 Discussion in names started by Faugore, Thursday, Ma1:48:52 PM. Scott describes it as retouching for photographers and I could not agree more. It will help you get way more out of your portraits though. This book will not make you a great retoucher. There’s some intro, but really if you don’t know what layers are, it would be better to grab a Photoshop beginners book first. You need some previous Photoshop experience to be using the book. I photocopied it and posted next to my screen. Great if you don’t have a work-flow yet, and is looking to build one. There is an sweet (SWEET!!) check list at the end of the book. (CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+E to create a merged layers is my new way of going)
Portraitpro 18 layers review skin#
(Image credit: Anthropics Technology Ltd) PortraitPro is an incredibly powerful image editing software package for enhancing every aspect of your portrait shots, from lighting to skin smoothness, hair tone to backdrops. The intro is great, and it has some great tips right there. The most feature-packed dedicated portrait enhancement software just got even more powerful. if you are focusing on enhancing eyes, go to the eyes chapter, if it’s lips go to the lips chapter, and so on. You can read the book in any order you’d like. Enhance the eyes, smooth the skin, shape the face (oh yea) and a bunch of other enhancements that you can make. Each chapter has “a thing ” that you can do to a portrait. And While I don’t usually review books, let alone Photoshop books, the book helped me make a huge jump in my post-processing, I hope that by sharing my thoughts on it can help others too.
Portraitpro 18 layers review professional#
Recently I got a copy of Professional Portrait Retouching Techniques (long name, I know). Near the end of the post you can see how this portrait of Mika looked before applying some retouching. If possible, I’d try to get the good stuff SOOC (Strait Out Of Camera), but the truth is, almost all my pictures go through some level of retouching. And it’s not because I’m a purist or anything. Expert news, reviews and videos of the latest digital cameras, lenses, accessories, and phones. I’ll be the first to admit, Photoshop and I don’t get along as well as I wish we had.
