Portrait Professional 10 Lets You Fine Tune Faces



VERSION 10 OF Anthropics' Portrait Professional includes a few nice changes to the interface and controls, but it continues to provide a good platform for improving photo subjects' attractiveness.
Like Portrait Professional version 9, version 10 Lets you create minimal to sweeping changes to a face to make it more appealing. Once you up­load an image, you mark five spots on it outside corners of the eyes, tip of the nose, and corners of the mouth. Then you adjust the points on the image to correspond to the features of the face, and click. In seconds, the software changes the face's features in ac­cordance with predetermined beautifying algo­rithms. The re­sult: a new face.
After Portrait Professional is finished, you can make changes using the sliders at the right side of the screen to fine-tune each effect. Version 10 introduces the option of identifying a subject as a child and using a special set of controls for correcting the image.
Portrait Professional's sliders let you adjust various enhancements as you like.
Anthropics also offers bet­ter algorithms for different ages and textures of skin. I tested the sliders on a wide range of people, including a man in his 70s, a man in his 40s, a woman in her 40s, and a child. The program did a good job of subtly improv­ing each person’s skin and facial structure, yielding a more attractive look without going too far toward an air brushed result.
