Curling Up

You've got to take your hat off to some of the little niche application programmers out there.  My wife needs a simple portrait for the work website so this afternoon I was asked to take a quick image.  I have a very helpful book on Photoshop processing of portraits called 'Skin" by Lee Varis and I've used it before on occasion to 'enhance' photos of people. I fully intended to dip into the advice in the book but remembered that over the years I have been seen various adverts on the web for Portrait Professional.  There was a free trial so decided to give it a go.

Well, no sooner had I loaded the image than an enhanced version appeared on the screen.  What would have taken me a good hour was there almost instantly.  I got the immediate nod of approval and the image is complete and available.  Simple!

You were expecting the before and after on the screen? Ahem, you'll be lucky.  I was honoured to be allowed to take the image, but that doesn't mean I can share it with you.  Instead you get a close up of one of the acer leaves in our garden as it starts to lose it's pigment and fall from the tree.
