Portraiture is $200. Portrait Professional is $40-60 (32-bit). I've only used Portrait Professional so am not qualified to comment on the more expensive software, but I would expect it to be faster and easier to use, and capable of better results.

It might be that if you use a software like this X hours a week, or on XX number of images weekly (fill in your own numbers), you could justify the more expensive software because of increased productivity - the ability to improve more images to your (or your customers) standards in a given amount of time.

Otherwise, I've found Portrait Professional very capable of producing excellent results.





Both of these images are processed with older versions of PP; the current version 10 produces even better results (easier to control, wider range of effects and skin textures).

Other than being a registered user of Portrait Professional (for which I paid full price) I have no affiliation with the maker of either software.

Does this software have a feature that helps enhance catchlights in the eyes?

Larry,

I know PP is pretty good, but didn't know it created smile/teeth, changed outfit/hairstyle, uncropped, provided background for your portrait. You must be using some magic version that I haven't heard of

Missed this post when you first made it, and see that you've since decided on the 'Studio' version, which is what I use. Their tech support should be able to tell you. On a WinXP 32 machine with 4GB physical RAM, I've had no problem editing 25-30MB images (created by converting 9-12MB D90 NEF's to uncompressed TIF).

Thanks! I picked up the Studio version. If you look on retailmenot, there are coupons for $15 percent off. I saved $9 that way.
