PortraitPro 17 includes a new Advanced Preset Controls interface that allows users to create custom presets using their favorite tools and save them for future use so they can edit images with just a few clicks. Users can build a library containing favourite makeup looks, skin smoothing settings and other adjustments to use time and time again. Photographers using PortraitPro Studio Max with automatic batch processing can use these custom presets to make batch editing even easier and save hours of manual work.
Other new tools include a new vignette tool for subtly darkening the edges of the frame to draw attention to the subject as well as three fashionable new Bronzer styles and improved tan controls for skin retouching.
The new version also comes with enhanced automatic face-detection technology, an updated interface and faster software that work together to make it even easier to edit portraits quickly and simply. PortraitPro 17 is available for purchase from US$39.95 from www.PortraitPro.com. A free trial download is also available.
