Richardgb Posted November 21, 2017 Share #1 Posted November 21, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) PortraitPro is now out in its 17th incarnation. Does anyone have anything to say about this software, either as a stand-alone or plug-in for Lightroom / Photoshop? Ease of use (compared to the usual LR / PS adjustments) ? Value for money? Alternatives? Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke_Miller Posted November 21, 2017 Share #2 Posted November 21, 2017 I have version 15 which is an upgrade from an earlier version. Used it for years and find it very useful and easy to use. Works well to create pleasing portraits of "mature" subjects as we as resolving "teenage skin" issues. It defaults to automatic face-sculpting, which makes for nice portraits that no longer fully resemble the subject. I disable that function. I've used it both with Lightroom and photoshop, My preference is Photoshop on a layer so I can dial it back if needed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentShutter Posted November 22, 2017 Share #3 Posted November 22, 2017 PortraitPro is a question of taste I would use it very carefully ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke_Miller Posted November 22, 2017 Share #4 Posted November 22, 2017 PortraitPro is a question of taste I would use it very carefully ! I agree. There are times it is necessary in order to satisfy the client. But it is not part of my normal workflow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gobert Posted November 22, 2017 Share #5 Posted November 22, 2017 The results of Portrait Pro are “over the top” in my view. I’ve always considered it as hobbyism. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that the examples shown on the advertising, while 'clever', are going OTT and even unrealistic - a bit like some of the renderings seen on popular mags and (early) CG and video games.
