Imagenomic Portraiture 3 Photoshop Plugin has available more useful features for your photography or image quality improvement. Portraiture 3 some useful features name skin smooth, remove and clear texture, such as hair, eyebrows, eyelashes, brightness, contrast, and more. these all features can be applied to your photography or images also within just one click.

One of the important features included in the Imagenomic Portraiture 3 Photoshop Plugin is the automatic mask builder that helps you identify the skin color that you can customize if you want to customize it.

While Dynamic Skin Softener (DSS) is a good product and it can be dialed in to get similar softening results, I found the advanced eye dropper and some of the presets in Portraiture to be a big step ahead of what Dynamic Skin Softener can do.

To see what I mean, compare the screen shot above to the shot below (taken from Mac, but both work the same way) and notice the mask preview on the right. By sampling various spots on the image I was able to isolate most of the skin with minimal impact on the rest of the image. The remainder can usually be ignored or masked off with a quick black brush stroke when you return Photoshop, but I usually just leave it alone and most of the time I can isolate my selection to just the skin very quickly.

Seasoned DSS veterans like me can use both products equally effective, but I still have found that the default settings in Portraiture are better to my personal preferences. This coupled with the fact that I can make fast adjustments in one pass means I get a a time advantage in my image processing my workflow that make it worth it the switch.

Both products create good results, but I find that DSS is a little more aggressive by default. Both products allow for adjustments so this can be addressed in the user-interface or by simply changing the opacity of the skin softening layer, but I find the defaults in Portraiture more suitable to my tastes.

This example for Portraiture uses color enhancements, but this can easily be disabled by clicking off in the Enhancements panel shown in the screen shots above. I used it because it saved me a processing step, but others may wish to do that in Photoshop or Lightroom directly.

My advice here is do what you like. You are the photographer, and your work is a reflection of you so do what you like the most. Top Photographers like Jill Greenberg have made a name for themselves by doing unrealistic skin enhancements, so while some people might complain about your level of skin softening (as they do with Jill) others will call it your style (as they also do with Jill).

Once I had my skin softening done then I selected the teeth using the quick selection tool, created a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer to adjust the teeth color. I removed a little saturation from the yellow channel and added a little lightness on the master channel. I learned this trick and others I used on this photo from Scott Kelby. You can read a bunch of tricks like these in his book The Adobe Photoshop CS5 Book for Digital Photographers.

My last steps to this image were a little dodge and burn on the eyes, a visit to the warp tool to narrow the face, and I used the digital reflector filter in Color Efex to add some additional light and color to the face. I sharpened the final product with Sharpener Pro.

This guy really knows what he is doing! I bought this plug in and can not believe how much time it saves and how great the portrait photos turn out. Also, the instruction video is superb. If nothing else, try the free trial version first.

Yes, I have. I'll be posting the results in an article soon.

I still prefer portraiture, but for those getting started they may find some of the other things that Portrait Professional can do to be a welcome addition to their workflow.

A good analogy is that Portrait Professional is much like P mode on the camera - it helps to do a lot of things automatically, which is great when you get started. Once you know what you are doing you rarely go there and find other modes like Aperture Priority to be superior. Portraiture is part of a more advanced workflow like Aperture Priority on our cameras.

Hey,

I just use Imagenomic Portraiture.. it's relly wonderfull..

But i have a question: after using the imagenomic on any picture, scales are seen on them how can i remove this lines..

thanks a lot

Pulling the JPG into Photoshop, the actual first step is to create a duplicate layer. This initial duplicate layer is the one that I retouch any skin blemishes on. I use the Clone and Healing Brush in Photoshop for this. (The person who designed the Healing Brush should be nominated for a Nobel Prize.)

On the duplicate layer of the Shine Off edit, I run Portraiture. This too is one of those plug-ins that made a huge difference in my workflow for portrait photography. The Portraiture plug-in renders skin smoothly. Too many photographers run Portraiture aggressively though, giving that plastic doll look to skin. Not good.

Then as a final step, I added a black-and-white version of the photograph as another layer, and blended it as an Overlay layer at reduced opacity. It changes the contrast in a way that I like. However, I brought back some of the detail in the darker areas of her hair, by brushing it in with the layer mask.

I use Imagenomic Portraiture on a lot of my female model shots. At default but then adjusted to taste with the opacity toned down. It is an absolute gem of a plug in!

I was very interested to hear about the layer where you add in a mono copy of the file for contrast change. Can you possibly expand on that or should i be able to understand how it is dealt with from your narrative?

As usual extremely interesting

What about the skin tones ?

What is your tip for that : your model are very alive with the perfect skin tone every time

Do you do it with a correct exposure only or do you balance it with LR using a method of yours ?

Thanks a lot for the trick

A fantastic article (again) with plenty of takeaway ideas for all parts of the workflow. I note that you utilise a lot of add-ins here rather than using many of the in-built standard functions within Photoshop. Do you find the results from the add-ins to be notably better than anything that can be done with Photoshop standard tools or do these simply make your workflow quicker? If the latter, roughly how long would you consider too long when working on a single portrait like this (granted, this is a fairly subjective question) and if use of standard tools in Photoshop is just time-consuming, what about using the Actions function to speed up and simplify?

Hi Neil, do you create your own camera calibration profiles for LR, or do you use the default profiles as a base. i use a D300 and i find the color shift can be very different especially in skin tones.

For anybody else interested: I have been using Nik Software Color Efex Pro 3.0, and there is an effect called Tonal Contrast that very closely mimicks Topaz Adjusts Detailed effect, to my eyes. You can substitute Topaz Adjust in the blog article above for Nik Software Color Efex Pro 3.0 Tonal Contrast and achieve similar results.

Mika,

Shine off for the Mac is written as 32-bit code. Photoshop CS5 for the Mac runs in 64-bit mode, so you cannot see the plug-in in the filter menu. You would have to right-click on photoshop.app and select the option to run it in 32-bit mode to be able to see the filter.

My questions from this post are:

1. Do you use or advice to use any mask from the shine-off, potraiture and topaz steps? Will those steps not affect other parts of the picture?

2. In your last step when you add B&W set to Overlay, which version of the photo did you use (i mean from which step)?

3. The Portraiture plugin price is a bit too high, is it OK to use Topaz Clean? It does have some feature on smoothing the skin and the price is reasonable. Will it achieve the same thing?

My workflow is I create a layer mask where specific areas of the image gets processed by Portraiture or some localized sharpening. The step that consumes most of my time is hair selection and I wish there was a way to speed up that. How do you handle hair?

Today I want to share a quick tip on cleaning up lint, dust, cat hair, and things like that from clothing or other areas of your photo. I'm super picky, and even if the image is a 5x7 and the dust may not even show up on the print, I like to fix things like that on my large files anyway. You never know when the customer may come back later and order a wall portrait from that file they only previously purchased a 5x7 from, and I don't want to have to go back in and re-retouch the image.

The Dust & Scratches filter can also be used for other things as well. Try it on studio backgrounds with some small wrinkles, and even outdoor settings, like sidewalks with dirt or small debris. This underused tool is pretty valuable when used properly and not overdone.

Yes, that works when there's not a lot of stuff to clean up. In this particular image, there was a few hundred pieces of hair, lint and dust to clean up, would have been 300 or so strokes of healing... hence much more work.
