Introduction

I NTRODUCTION

Simply put, Portraiture helps you portray people the way people wish to portray

themselves. The wrinkles around smiling eyes convey…the dark circles might

convey something else. Portraiture helps keep and signify the true features of the

portrait while smoothing and neutralizing the trivial blemishes and imperfections of

human appearance (but not of human nature).

Portraiture eliminates the tedious manual labor of selective masking and pixel-by-

pixel treatments to help you achieve excellence in portrait retouching. It

intelligently smoothens and removes imperfections while preserving skin texture

and other important portrait details such as hair, eyebrows, eyelashes etc.

For finer control, you can specify the smoothening degree for different detail sizes

and across skin tones using a powerful masking tool as well as adjust the

sharpness, warmth, brightness and contrast. You can also quickly produce a

“glamour” and other stylized effects.

Portraiture’s controls are simple and easy-to-use, enabling a truly intuitive

workflow. It comes with pre-defined presets for one-click effects and, as with all

Imagenomic plug-ins, you can capture your own signature workflow in a custom

preset tailored to your specific requirements and photographic portfolio.
