Using Portrait Proffesional

[windrider86]

This porgram is just so cool. Follow the instructions, line up all the little lines the program puts into place for you for the eyes, mouth, nose and cheeks and it smooths it all out for you.
Even offers changing eye color and hair color , remove wrinkles, slim face. Yes this all can be done manually but this porgram makes it sooooooooo easy!

Thank you, was from a photo session last week for her senior portraits. She was a ton of fun

I really like Portrait Professionals too. It only take a few minutes and anyone can do it. I have noticed that you could get carried away with it and make people look kinda freaky if your not careful with it. Yours looks great!

I use it too and like it very much. There's a lot of nay-sayers out there but I believe it's a great tool if used in moderation.

One thing to look out for though,,,
See the hair right by the fingers on her left hand?
It's distorts due to the face shaping.
You can nudge that back into place with Photoshop if need be.

Portrait Professional is a fantastic program. A word of caution though, I've had negative feedback if I show the "Before" shot. This is especially true if there is a drastic change made. I've heard it said that this program turns a person into a better looking sibling. I would say that that is true. Most people want to be a better looking version of themselves (they just dont want to see the old version). I shoot alot of Seniors and Portrait Professional is that tool to use when you want to add some extra pop to the "money" shot. It appeals to most people's basic need to be seen as beautiful. In my experience, it's worth it's weight in gold. Great job with the before and after. Very subtle. Great model

Cheers

No, you never show a customer the before pic. ever ever ever.
I redid a photo of some gal who was older and fixed up her jowls some. My brain child husband says. ha ha you should see the picture before she touched it up. I felt so bad for her. It really made her feel horrible.

Never, ever, ever
(especially if that person is family)

I have used it before and when people see their picture they will tell me that I'm the best photographer ever. They don't really know why or anything they just look good so they think it is the way I took the picture but I would never show them the before picture.

Except my sister....I did her on a picture from the holidays and I was raving about how good she looked but when she saw it she didn't think it looked any better....I want to tell you it was like night and day, she is in such denile it's silly! Oh well everyone else loves it and they doesn't even know it!

Will that plug in for PSP X2?

I know they have it for PS or at least I thought so.
