not saying it's perfect (no program is) but it's pretty idiot proof (I'm sure ther's someone out there that can prove me wrong on that), and fairly quick. |

PRNT SCRN! Paste into Photoshop. |
If all you need is a web image that's fine. Won't work well when you need to make larger prints |
In this case, something is better than nothing. I understand the need to cripple try-it-before-you-buy-it software, but sometimes its just stupid how they do it. In this case it is simple to get around it for a 1-2 megapixel file depending on your screen resolution. |

Just received my Bamboo, it's fun and easy... I think every photographer who does heavy editing should have one.
Although I might look like advertising these things here, I am just very excited to have those tools, and I just want to share my excitement wit you guys. Buy them or don't buy them I don't care, but since I am trying, and using, at least you do have some ideas, and maybe try and buy for yourself. Most of you already have much better tools, so... I can't start doing my new editing now, which is using the tablet and pen is much easier to do.
Anyway, back to my fun now :P

Every image posted in here that was modified in Portrait Pro I hate. Everoyone looks too fake and too plastic. Just my 2 cents. I don't think it is worth .02 cents to own that program.

| I can't say that I disagree, but if the clients are given a choice and overwhelmingly pick the PP6 version and even order more than they would otherwise? I'd sell that tiny piece of my soul in this case. |

I strongly suggest to those would like to try this program, don't use if for heavy editing. Here is what I would do, maybe backwards, but probably works better. We all know people’s face usually awful, pimples, black holes, hair.. you name it. And some people has more than others. If the face looks like moon's surface, try to fix heavy stuff with PS, using healer or something, and keep the light job for PortraitPro.
Not all the photos here are bad, the bride, I think it's well done.
Again, it's a program saves you tons, you don't have to go heavy... use it the smart way. I think samples (most of them) here to show you what can it do... |

I'm gonna keep the anti-plastic part of my soul in tact in spite of how tacky the tastes of consumers get. I know plenty of horrible photogs in my area to refer them to :-D

i'm quite taken with it. used subtly, it's ideal for kindness to wrinkles. too much, and people do a little plastic and ultra surprised. i find i don't like their presets with the 'face sculpting' at all, but i really like the wrinkle ironer.

| any experience using this on faces that are profiled? Not straight on? I too checked out the demo a while ago and really liked the results but later wondered how it would deal with faces that weren't straight on... I do a lot of child photography and seldom are they looking directly at me. Any experience with this? |

| I bought this program 2 weeks ago and love it. It really does a great job. The face sculpting it nice and I like the different presets you can use to change the amount of sculpting. It does work on faces that aren't straight on, you just set the points in the right places and it figures out the rest. If it gets distorted you can select the subtle option or just remove blemishes and you're good to go. It does speed things up, cleans up the skin, fixes shine, sculpts, whitens the eyes, adds contrast to the eyes, you can darken or lighten lips, even change that frown to a smile! |

Actually it does not too bad with faces in profile I've been trying with various angles of profile and it seems to do ok in most cases |
