Anthropics Technology has recently released a program which is claiming to be able to automatically retouch large volumes of images saving hours for professional Photographers.
"Portrait Professional"the previous software had allowed photographers to easily retouch individual photos in minutes , the new version on lab software claims to automatically retouch the faces from entire photo shoots, without having to perform artistic work on each photograph.
This potentially means a wedding photographers retouching work could go from a few days worth of work down to ten minutes. The Photographer only needing to select the pictures to be processed, configure the retouching settings and approve the final work.
"This is a major time-saver for photographers, allowing them to be more productive and have happier customers," says Andrew Berend, CEO of Anthropics Technology
the process has facial recognition software, the program scans for facila features and then maps and applies enhancements to the features.
Portrait Professional software has been trained using 1000s of portraits to perform skin tone improvement, facial sculpting and lighting correction, remove wrinkles, spots, glare and skin imperfections without removing the underlying texture of skin.
The general conceise on this product seems to be that it is surprisingly effective, however you will still have to go to photoshop for your darkening, sharpening and filters etc. One part to the programs that seems to annoy is the fact that it is a stand alone program and there isnt a feature to access photoshop.
Although i dont believe this program will be over taking photoshop in the retouching stakes anytime soon, it could definately help out all the poor wedding retouchers out there!.
feel free to addyour thoughts on this program and your own reviews! :P
