Portraits and improving them.




If you take a lot of portraits you'll know that sometimes your subjects less than flattering, they may have skin blemishes, spots, acne, or just been whacked with the ugly stick. Fixing these problems can take a fair bit of time in Photoshop, well there are other ways. Portrait Pro is a great bit of kit, it makes it easy and quick to fix a lot of portrait issues, in fact everything from face shape to lip colour can be easily changed.
The first step is setting up a grid over the main features, while this looks complicated in the photo, it's actually dead simple and literally takes a few seconds, the next step is just moving simple sliders, or if you prefer there's presets.
Here our subject Tanya has lovely skin (and doesn't need any improvement) but she was a handy subject for these display photos. Wayne
