Portrait Professional - 08-07-2009, 04:41 PM


I just wanted to throw in my two cents worth here. I saw this software advertised in one of my photo mags. I downloaded the trial and had to buy it the same day. It's wonderful at softening, and just making natural accents pop. You have to be careful with the settings sometimes, or else your subject will end up looking a little weird. But, for fixing skin problems, especially, it's great.

I'm pretty proficient in Photoshop, and I really love this new program.

Here's a couple examples:

I think the same thing. I downloaded the trial, but have not bought it yet.

Amanda,

I would not buy anything only looking at the results on a monitor.
Have you made any prints from files after you have worked on the image with the software? It looks to me that the range of the tones is out of an acceptable printing range. Printing will block up in the highlights or the shadows.
The proof is in the prints.

I have, and I was pleased with the results. I was afraid of that very thing.

Amanda I agree with you that the software is great. I have used it for the last two years. Mic I have printed prints using the software and they were just as they where on the screen and the clients loved them.
