A Quick Look At Perfect Portrait 2 “Automatic Adjustments”

Same File with An Automated Correction of Perfect Portrait 2
Over the next few days I want to share with you a great little plug-in for Lightroom & Photoshop called Perfect Portrait 2 from onOne. Post processing portraits can be a ton of work especially if you have to apply skin softening to every image you shoot.Perfect Portrait 2 makes short work of the tedious task of post processing portraits. The software is so slick, it can detect multiple faces in a single image and automatically apply skin softening, eye and teeth whitening and do color correction. When I say automatically I mean it, when you launch the software it imports the image, finds the faces and applies the corrections. Now the automated corrections aren’t perfect, but it’s so close that you could process a series of images in a just few minutes well enough to give the client a taste of what the final edits could look like. Automated corrections could also work if you are processing images for the web or printing small images.
In this first video, I give you a basic overview of the software and show you some of the common controls. In the following videos I will show you more in-depth controls and how to fine tune a portrait that will hold up to the scrutiny of the pickiest of pixel peepers. One of the best things about Perfect Portrait 2 is the fact you do not have to know a single thing about Photoshop. I for one think onOne did an outstanding job with Perfect Portrait 2 and highly recommend it if you don’t like to spend hours retouching images.
Note: Today has been a hectic day, the server went down and I am just now posting today’s blog post. I want to say sorry to all of the members here and I want to let you know that the hosting service installed my website on a brand new server so this will not happen again (fingers crossed). T


I did wonder what happened to you. Quite happy you experienced technical and not family or personal problems.
