NEW PORTRAIT PROFESSIONAL v11 NOW LAUNCHED
www.PortraitProfessional.com
The world’s best reviewed, most powerful portrait enhancing software just got
faster, more powerful, and even easier to use …
 Portrait Professional 11 now incorporates the industry’s
most accurate face and feature detector making the
software incredibly fast and easy to use while giving the
photographer unparalleled creative control.
 Portrait Professional is the only portrait software actually
trained in human beauty. This makes it both faster, and
much easier to use than ordinary photo editing software
for faces. This is because the software has analyzed
thousands of photos to learn what makes people look
attractive or unattractive. With this knowledge, it knows
how to improve any aspect of the face. For example, if the
face has a double chin, Portrait Professional’s ‘jaw
slider’ will recognize that, and automatically reduce it.
 The results are fully customizable via a simple slider
interface, and an intelligent touch up brush, so that users
can get exactly what they want. There are over 200
sliders giving the user total control of all aspects of the face, eyes, teeth, mouth and hair.

Uniquely, Portrait Professional 11 keeps learning. The software is constantly receiving more
training, so it is continually getting better at enhancing faces. And, as version 11 buyers will get
free and frequent upgrades, their software will just get better over time.

The software incorporates a new generation intelligent touch up brush. Instead of just selecting
everything under the brush, the brush actively looks for defects within its radius, and only
removes the defect, leaving good skin untouched. This both gives better results, and makes the
brush very fast and easy to use, as accuracy is not required.

The software also contains a unique automatic skin regeneration capability. Conventional skin
touch up software simply filters the skin. This works OK for small defects, but fails with bigger
problems. This is because when a large defect is removed what remains is featureless skin with no
texture. Our solution is to automatically 'graft in' real skin texture where the defects used to
be, and this is precisely what our (patent applied for) 'ClearSkin 3®' software does. And,
depending on the age and skin type of the subject, the user can even choose different skin textures
to fine-tune the result.
This combination of accurate automatic face and feature detection, massively increased training in
human appearance, intelligent defect removal brushes, the new ClearSkin 3® technology, and
additional slider controls makes Portrait Professional 11:

Far easier to use than traditional touch up software.

3rd generation intelligent face contouring and slimming
Portrait Professional is the only portrait software actually capable of slimming and refining the face
shape, enabling you to make your subject as slim and beautiful as possible, quickly and easily.
Portrait Professional’s new face slimming has been shown to please subjects and increases sales.
There are some things that even a flattering camera angle and a well-chosen pose can't hide. If you
want to slim your subject, Portrait Professional 11 can take off a few pounds and really bring out
the person they would like to be - and often think they already are!
Research shows that people buy more photos if they like the way they look in them. Portrait
Professional 11 is the only software that allows you to slim and refine faces in a natural way to
make people as attractive as they can be.
New 3rd generation ClearSkin® skin enhancing and Touch Up brush
Portrait Professional also has a 3rd generation ClearSkin® skin enhancement system and touch up
brush to instantly remove spots, stray hairs and other skin blemishes. Unlike an ordinary paint
brush, the ClearSkin® brush actually looks for defects under the cursor. When the ClearSkin® brush
finds a wrinkle, or a spot or a patch of shiny skin, it replaces the defect with real skin texture, leaving

the rest of the skin in its natural state. The result is the most natural and realistic skin touch up.

Hair recoloring, smoothing and thickening
Hair recoloring, smoothing, thickening
You may have already used Portrait Professional to thicken and smooth hair, but with Portrait
Professional 11, you can also give your subject a new hair color. Want to add a hint of red? Or
highlights? You can even break out the bleach, if you want! Add that bit of extra color to really bring
your photos to life. Again Portrait Professional is the only software with this capability.
Auto detection and auto mark up of multiple faces
Portrait Professional has always allowed you to edit multiple faces in the same photograph. Now
that functionality has been greatly improved. The software now detects and automatically finds the
features in the faces in your images. You simply select and enhance each face. Each face remains
editable in your session file and you can move between the faces changing and tweaking each face
for a perfect result.

New automatic slider controls to instantly eliminate common defects and to enhance
features
Portrait Professional 11 now has specific slider controls to instantly improve common problems.
There are now new sliders to automatically reduce eye bags, new controls for crow's feet reduction,
as well as controls for cheek enhancement and lip moistening.

software remains speedy becomes more and more important.
