The Skin Coloring Controls seem improved from the previous version, allowing you to quickly adjust the tint, temperature, and exposure, even add blush or a tan. You can brighten, sharpen, whiten, and adjust eye and lip color here. Other sections include Eye Controls and Mouth & Nose Controls, which give you sliders for the left and right eye, and the top and bottom lip. These sliders provide results in one or two minutes that could take an hour or more in Photoshop, and are worlds better than any method I know of for fixing skin in Lightroom. For blemishes the Skin Smoothing Controls can't fix, there's the Touch Up Brush (like the Healing Brush in Photoshop) for targeted zapping of spots.

With 14 different Skin Texture Types, smoothed areas still look like skin and are not just blurred or noisy, as with other retouching software. The Skin Smoothing Controls give you complete control, even separate sliders for the left and right under eye areas. Restraint and small movements will give pleasing results pushing things too far can look outlandish. These tools make quick work of adjusting a heavy face, long nose, or other feature that can suddenly stand out in a photo. Some clients are really insecure about the size of their forehead or how chubby their face appears in photos. It's easy to widen eyes or align uneven eyes here I was even able to tone down an overly gummy smile with the mouth controls. The Face Sculpt Controls are really pretty cool and they have their place in some portrait retouches. The Natural presets are great starting points, but the Glamorous presets are a bit heavy-handed however, everything is easily fine-tuned with the sliders.

The good news is there's a comprehensive list of presets, and versions of each without sculpt, plus one-click removal in the presets. Any scrupulous retoucher begins with the face as is, only correcting for perceived flaws when necessary. My only issue is that it automatically adds Face Sculpt-Standard settings should not include sculpting. The Standard results are good, so you could potentially have a retouched image ready to go in just one minute. Results are quick and usually very good, but any adjustments are an easy process. PortraitPro instantly detects faces in each image opened. Coming to our aid is PortraitPro 12 Studio, which improves upon an already rich collection of features and adds a couple of great new ones.

Professional retouching in Photoshop requires years of experience and hours of meticulous work, but with life moving a thousand miles per hour, it's rare we have the luxury to devote that time to every image. Fantastic Tool for Quick, Quality Retouching
