Neck & Shoulders controls (in the Shape controls) automatically detect the subject’s neck and shoulders, providing additional controls for the “Shoulder Box” to tweak the area affected. Also added to this panel is a Chin slider, which will darken under the chin for a slimming effect, and works well with the new shaping capabilities for neck and shoulders. The Body Contrast slider didn’t make a ton of difference in the images on which I tested it, but if you were making dramatic image-lighting adjustments, it would be helpful in conjunction with the Lighting Brush. This slider can add or subtract body contrast, and you can toggle down to additional sliders that move the body lighting effects relative to the lighting position set in the lighting direction control, or adjust the hue and brightness of your highlights and shadows. To help give more control over body lighting, there’s now a Body Contrast slider that works with the masking controls (if you don’t have Automatically Find Background on in your preferences, you’ll need to turn on the Layers panel and give the background mask a little help). The Lighting Brush (which works like dodging and burning) has moved from the Tools panel to Lighting & Coloring where it really belongs. Working your way through the controls and sliders, combined with the sophisticated AI facial recognition and algorithms, gives you such intricate control over your images and so much potential for different looks and professional-looking final images that it feels like a waste of time and effort to do it “the right way” for all, but perhaps the most high-paying (read, demanding) clients. So let’s take a peek at what’s been added to the PortraitPro 22. Simply opening an image in PortraitPro can get you halfway there. Photographers, designers, and photo editors know that it can take many hours (and layers) to do a soup-to-nuts portrait retouch. But who doesn’t like a quality shortcut? Each time I have an opportunity to test and review PortraitPro from Anthropics (this time, PortraitPro Studio Max), I get excited to see what improvements they’ve made to what I know is already a great piece of software. Speedy Retouching that Keeps Getting BetterĪs a Photoshop user and aficionado, naturally that’s my gold standard for retouching portraits.
