Do anybody uses it? Or is just a fancy way of achieve what PS can do?

If you use it - why do you do it? Is it faster than doing it with Photoshop? Is it more intuitive or one-step-does-it-all kind of software?

I'm just curious if it can be helpfull or just another way of spending money for something you could do in PS.

Please share your opinion and experience.

I use it and love it. Sure, the end result could be done with photoshop (if you're good at it), but you're not going to do it in 2 minutes with photoshop. It's completely customizable and simple to use.

I've dabbled with it. It's neat if you're doing faceshots. It can't handle much angling of the subject-- at least, the version I was using couldn't. It can be pretty easy to make your subject look like plastic though, so beware!

I dowloaded it yesterday, and it keeps blowing me away ! the baby i just shot had a scratch on his face along with all of the normal baby acne. I adjusted on shot to get a retouhed look that still looked realn saved the settings as a preset. Now I can fix every shot to be consistent, and it takes about 2 minutes each!

I use it for head shots. It works amazingly well. In the event the shot is a full bosy be careful as the facial colors are adjusted without taking the rest of the body into consideration as you would. But it most definitely has its place in my software tool box

I use imagenomic portraiture for skin smoothing in a duplicate layer with 40-80% opacity. portrait pro is a little to fake for my liking
