Photographers choose their lighting carefully, so it’s off-putting to me that these are added automatically. As I’ve critiqued in the past, a scrupulous retoucher begins with the face as-is, only correcting as necessary for perceived flaws. I don’t love that Face Sculpt and lighting adjustments are part of these standard results. Closed eyes or extreme facial expressions can trip it up, so look out for this on batch-processed work. The standard retouching that PortraitPro automatically serves up is good, so you could potentially have a retouched image ready to go in just one minute.

Results are quick and usually very good, but it’s easy to adjust the guide nodes if they’re off the mark. The PortraitPro 17 software instantly detects faces in each image opened.

I recommend using it as a standalone for quick batch processing and its ability to save your session as a project if you’re called away from your computer.

PortraitPro 17 can be used as a standalone app, and the Studio and Studio Max versions can be used as a plug-in for Photoshop, Lightroom, Aperture, or Photoshop Elements. This review is for the PortraitPro 17 Studio Max version, which is the only version with a batch mode.

I’ve enjoyed reviewing PortraitPro in the past, so I jumped at the chance to test the newest version of the software, PortraitPro 17, which is available in three versions: Standard, Studio, and Studio Max. Professional retouching in Photoshop requires years of experience and hours of meticulous work, but it’s rare we have the luxury to devote that time to every portrait. Awesome Tool for Fast, Quality Retouching
