I encountered another problem after having run tests of the lighting on a few TIFFs and JPEGs and opening a RAW file in the Studio Max edition: the RAW file opened as expected, but the only sliders in the lighting controls were Contrast, Left Kick and Right Kick. Fortunately, you can readjust the outline in the Before image while you work, if you have the Before/After split screen active. Otherwise you will find yourself changing the lighting inside or outside the areas you intend. PortraitPro 12 does a generally excellent job of doing this automatically, but pay particular attention if you plan on adjusting the lighting. First, it is vital that the face outline be accurately positioned.

There are two important things to be aware of with the new Skin Lighting Controls.

And for those available-light grab shots or on-camera flash event portraits, the new face-relighting feature can turn a flatly lit photo into something more worthy of a professional photographer. While the new face re-lighting is no substitute for a “properly” lit portrait, it does give you the opportunity to present your client with a different look, and potentially another sale. Fortunately, PortraitPro has always made it easy to turn adjustments on and off. As with the sliders in the Face Sculpting panel, you may love the effect with some subjects and hate it with others. The Pout slider enhances the lower lip with a subtle shadow beneath. The Smokey Eyes slider applies a subtle dark eye shadow above the eyes. Two new sliders, Smokey Eyes and Pout, finish out the new Skin Lighting Controls panel. The Left and Right Shadow sliders now give you control over the shadow depth of each side of the face, and the Left and Right Kick sliders give you control over the highlights. The new Modeling slider adds drama by subtly darkening shadows while the Fix Lighting slider has the opposite effect of adding fill light to shadows, similar to the Relight slider in earlier versions. While there is a Cheekbones panel in both, the sliders are enhanced in the new version. Only the Contrast slider is retained in version 12 from version 11. Positioning the virtual light source opposite the main light adds fill.Īdjusting the new sliders enhances the effect. Positioning the virtual light source from the same direction as your main light adds contrast and drama. The preview image shows the change in lighting direction as you drag the circle around the graphic. Moving the circle around the graphic is like moving a floodlight around your subject. Leaving the circle in its default position (centered over the graphic) retains your lighting. While clicking and dragging around the circle icon in the new interactive graphic, you have control over the direction of a virtual light source. A new interactive graphic and reconfigured sliders allow you to relight your portrait after the fact for a more natural or dramatic look. The program’s major new feature is found in the Skin Lighting Controls panel, which is completely redesigned in version 12.

This edition also adds the ability to batch process hundreds of separate photos without human intervention, but with full creative control.

It also integrates with Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom and Photoshop Elements, as well as Apple Aperture.įor photographers wanting maximum automation with minimum effort, there is PortraitPro Studio Max which includes all of the RAW file support and software integration of the Studio version. PortraitPro Studio 12 is the mid-range edition that supports RAW files. The stand-alone version, PortraitPro 12, offers all of the sophisticated face, skin and hair touch-up features but doesn’t support RAW files, nor integrate with Adobe or Apple imaging programs. With each new version release, Anthropics Technology seems to find a way to add more features to its already-excellent PortraitPro retouching software, as well as improve existing features.
