Portraiture

Portraiture is a professional plugin for Photoshop that strives to provide users access to the most advanced tools for skin retouching. It allows both novices and professionals to say goodbye to time-consuming, and labor-intensive manual pixel-by-pixel treatments of the skin and instead employs the latest algorithms to quickly provide excellent portrait retouching and open-access to numerous settings to make each procedure customizable and personalized.

Imagenomic Portraiture app offers three different areas of customization for all image formats that are currently supported in Photoshop (and only JPEG and TIFF for Lightroom). Those areas are Smoothing (for the elimination of Fine, Medium, and Large skin blemishes), Skin Mask (for equalizing the skin tone of your loaded portrait), and Enhancements (for various other effects including Sharpnessd, Warmth, Contrast, and other). To make sure you can easily re-apply the perfectly tuned skin treatment retouching configuration, the plugin also has built-in support for presets, both pre-made and user-defined.

Portraiture plugin is optimized for all the modern versions of Windows OS (7, 8, 10 or 11) and can be infused into the latest image editing apps made by Adobe – Photoshop CC 2015.5/ 2017/ 2018 and Lightroom CC 2015/Classic CC. The plugin is as of now offered only under premium perpetual license for each supported app, with a notable discount for purchasing bundled access to both Photoshop and Lightroom. The latest version of Portraiture is not available under a free trial license.
