Overall, I found the user interface to be clean and straightforward. This is exactly why ArcSoft created Portrait+ to make auto retouching faces much easier and more comprehensive in very little time. There’s also Portraiture and Nik’s Dynamic Skin Softener that can be used with more grunt work to get results that more closely align with my preferences, but both are going to be too tedious to use for an entire face, eye, teeth and lips edit of the average face. onOne tried to tackle the problem with Perfect Portrait, and they got closer to my desire to have “automatic” enhancements that didn’t look cheesy. Portrait Professional is probably the product most people are familiar with due to their extensive advertising, but when I used it I felt very disappointed. This of course begs the question, what if there were a product that could simplify that process? With that said, there’s still lots of grunt work involved so I can easily spend 5+ hours editing a single photo. One of my favorite books is Professional Portrait Retouching Techniques for Photographers using Photoshop because I think it does a great job demystifying the subject of portrait editing.
