Guys, have you ever heard of Portraiture2 by Imagenomic?
I was browsing photography tutorials on the web until I stumbled on this piece of software. Its a software plugin for Photoshop and Elements where it says it effectively "eliminates the tedious manual labor of selective masking and pixel-by- pixel treatments to help you achieve excellence in portrait retouching".

Curious as to how effective it was, I downloaded the trial version, tried the sample photo from their website, and I must say its brilliant! I compared it to other skin treatment tutorials and personally, the output is way better because it somehow retains skin texture.

I wanted the plugin, but unfortunately for me, its too expensive. :(

here is the site if you're interested:

Yes, portraiture is quite a handy tool. Very good for fixing skin blemishes and tones

Many quick-turnaround portrait studios use this product very effectively and efficiently. It's a really fast way to get respectable results if you're not super efficient yet with your photoshop skills and workflow.

Bought the plugin for $200 about 3 months ago. It's actually worth it. Quality output is incomparable to other commercial digital skin treatment.
Now I'm thinking of selling the serial key to anyone interested. hahaha! :Grin:
