This Imagenomic Portraiture Tutorial Review is a complete walkthough of how to use the software to create profesisonal looking portraits. Is there any reason why you shouldn’t grab this product now? This short tutorial shows you that life doesn’t have to be complicated when you have the right tools under your belt. Now can you see why limiting the options down to a single slider of "more or less" is totally the way to go? Hundreds of wedding portraits? Batch yearbook photos? Unlimited profile shots that you need to send over right away? With Imagenomic’s Portraiture, the problem is already solved. Set up Imagenomic Portraiture to work as a Photoshop Batch Action (or Droplet would be even better!) and it automatically opens all your images and applies your effects to every photo. It’s even more mind-blowing when you have a whole folder of photos to edit. There is no need to make more out of it that there needs to be. You have now created subtle changes that enhance portrait beauty without damaging quality. You can even choose the adjustment of the skin tone mask by clicking the eye-dropper icon and selecting the area of the photo you want as the skin tone mask.

With the skin tone mask on, the effects of your Threshold changes are localized to the skin only. In this case, turning on “Skin Tones” allows you to focus on the area that you really want to smoothen. However, you might want to leave the hair, accessories or even the background out of it.

Maybe you would like for it to soften the hair as well. You can clearly see how the program works on your subject, but smoothing out blemishes doesn’t have to just affect the face. Now, you can freely adjust the Threshold to more or less. "-40" is no effect (original image), and you can gradually increase the amount of smoothing up to "+40". Threshold – is simply more, or less, of the effect we set with the first three sliders. You’ll see its effects when you adjust Threshold. Large – is the general area around the flesh. Medium – the area around your fine details, is best left to 0. You want to leave those fine hairs as they are, don’t you? We want to keep those precious features intact. We will talk about these later though.įine – affects the smallest details down to the tiniest wrinkle and the smallest pore. You have everything you need in the “Detail Smoothing” section. There’s no reason to overwhelm yourself with all the options available on screen.įor basic retouching with maximum effect, turn off “Skin Tones” and “Enhancements”. You will be presented with many slider running down the left, top, and right of the Portraiture Interface. Open your image inside Photoshop by simply clicking Filter – Imagenomic – Portraiture. It will also work with 8-bit and 16-bit images, and in the RGB Color Model. It will work as a plugin for Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom and Aperture.
