However its power lies in the eye dropper too which goes beyond what Color Efex offers and actually lets you do skin samples as much as you like to pinpoint a range of colors that should be impacted by softening. Portraiture’s User Interface appears more complex at first, but it is pretty easy once you realize that it automatically does everything so you could just load it and click OK and get pretty good results most of the time.

Portraiture’s User Interface on Windows 7 in 64-bit CS4 I used it and loved it for years, but when Portraiture 2.0 came out I started to find myself going to Portraiture more often to get the job done right very quickly. Included with this product was their crown jewel filter that many photographers use daily – their Dynamic Skin Softener (DSS) filter.

I’ve been a big fan of Nik Software since 2007 and the first product I purchased from them was Color Efex. Portraiture –vs– Nik Software’s Dynamic Skin Softener (via Color Efex) Rather than just do a review of Portraiture, I thought it might be fun to add a little user education in it by doing a end to end walkthrough and while I’m discussing how Portraiture and its best competitor – Nik Software’s Dynamic Skin Softener (found in Color Efex) work. Portraiture is my “go to” skin softening product Imagenomic handles this very well in a package that looks intimidating the first time you load it up, but it’s 2.0 improvements help you get the hang of how it works quickly so it grows on your fast. In addition to the automatic mode you can use an eyedropper tool and take multiple samples to get great one pass skin softening on faces with multiple skin tones (i.e., shadows on face, rosy cheeks, etc…) which is something all of the other products I have used have failed to do in just one pass. What this product does is skin softening but in a more subtle yet sophisticated way by automatically detecting the skin surfaces and only applying changes to them. With both NoiseNinja and NeatImage, the user can control the amount of chroma and luma noised removed independently of each other.Imagenomic is mostly known for its award winning Noiseware product, but there’s another Imagenomic product that I use all of the time – Portraiture. Yes, the image will still be "grainy", but that's exactly it, "grainy", not "noisy". The trick is to remove MOSTLY chroma noise and leave the luminance noise. In other words, there is too much luma noised removed.ĭenoising is part art part science. The image shown in the above article has been overly smoothed.

Also, this article is sixteen months old, so not sure how relevant it still is. I thought both of his examples were bad and showed unacceptable loss of detail (which wasnt great to begin with). Now I strongly feel that more research is in order.

Until I saw this example, I was ready to order Noiseware. I just don't understand why he would chose an example that illustrates the opposite of what he alleges in his review. Rodney is infinitely more knowledgeable in this area than I am, and he cites Greg Gorman as the person who turned him on to Noiseware. but after showing this example to several friends, all agree that the dog looks better in the image not treated with Noiseware. Grain is entirely absent from the treated image. I clicked on the image, looked at the detail in the dog's hair and there is none in the image treated with Noiseware. Notice the detail in the dogs hair in both.
