Hi Folks,
Especially for the Portrait photographers amongst us, an interesting upgrade (Version 12) has been officially released of Portrait Professional Studio software.
While nothing beats a superior make-up artist, and a skilled retouch artist for rendering people in your skillfully lighted portraits at their best, this piece of software is really useful for producing good results very fast. It has been improved compared to previous versions in many ways.
New Features Round-up (from the press release)
· World 1st: Face re-lighting for more natural and or dramatic portraits
· Improved, more natural looking skin enhancement
· Improved face slimming and sculpting.
· More natural wrinkle and spot removal
· Improved touch up brushes
· Improved eye, mouth and teeth enhancement
· Improved hair thickening and re-coloring
· The world's most accurate automatic face and feature finding
· Fully automatic age and gender detection
· Better color correction
· Facebook integration
· 4x Speedup
· All editions now 64 bit
· Batch mode to automatically enhance 100s of photos (Studio Max version only)
The application indeed runs very fast and responsive, with very finely tweakable corrections to all facial features. I've also tried that new Re-lighting feature, and it can adjust/improve (within limits of course) the lighting that we used for the original shot, after the fact. Because the program uses an advanced model of human physiognomy, it can also figure out how shadows and skin sheen will change when the lightsource angle is changed. Very cool feature.
They also give out upgrade coupon codes, but I assume that existing registered users will be informed automatically.
Cheers,
Bart
