PortraitPro 9 (2009) introduced the novel ClearSkin automated skin enhancer, which corrects skin defects, such as acne, blotchiness, roughness, wrinkles, age spots, and so on. The program initially required an active internet connection to calculate point data for face shaping, but moved to a standalone edition with version 6. The algorithms that allowed the software to identify facial features, assess the "attractiveness", and adjust the photo were developed in conjunction with researchers from Cambridge University, Oxford University, and Manchester University.


PortraitPro was released in 2006 by Anthropics Technology, a company founded in 1997 as the research branch of the UK National Film and Television School. It is available as a standalone application, as well as Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, Photoshop Elements, and Aperture plug-ins on Windows and OS X systems. It automates the photo editing process with algorithms that manipulate facial features, remove skin imperfections, alter colors and tone, replace the background, and so on. The automatic control points for finding Face Features is still not all that accurate especially the outline of of the sides of the face.Īs much as I like Portrait Pro, I am just going to stay with my current Portrait Pro v 18, until I see an Upgrade works with Profile Views.Portrait Professional or PortraitPro is a portrait photography retouching software developed by Anthropics Technology and initially released in 2006. I am also disappointed that the Hair Controls some of the control sliders such as Saturation are way too sensitive - making it difficult to get the right setting because stuff changes way too much. What is so damn difficult about doing this ? Is it not clearly actually easier to work with than the usual face front Facing Portrait? Therefore I am not purchasing the new version 21, and recommending to everyone else to also send this message to Anthropics. What gives I and some other people have been asking for this ever since the first version of Portrait Pro appeared, but this request has been totally disregarded. There is major problems trying find a face which is even somewhat approaching a Side Profile. I was hoping version 21 would finally be able to work with Side Profile or anything in between front facing and side facing orientation processing, but there is no mention of it in the ads.
