Video Summary
This video provides a review and tutorial of Portraiture AI, a specialized Photoshop plugin designed for automated skin retouching and smoothing.
Key Features of Portraiture AI
- One-Click Smoothing: Unlike native Photoshop panels, this plugin acts as external software that integrates with Photoshop. As soon as you open it, it automatically applies skin smoothing [00:43].
- Smoothing Levels: You can choose between Normal, Medium, and Strong settings. While “Strong” can sometimes look unnatural, it effectively removes blemishes that standard Photoshop neural filters might miss [01:00, 02:17].
- Auto-Masking: The plugin includes an “Auto Mask” feature that intelligently identifies skin tones, ensuring the smoothing effect ignores hair, eyes, and clothing [01:29].
- Blemish Removal: A major advantage noted is that it handles skin textures and blemishes much better than Photoshop’s built-in neural filters, which primarily focus on smoothing without addressing spots [02:41, 03:42].
Workflow Tips
- Output to New Layer: The creator recommends outputting the effect to a new layer in Photoshop. This allows you to decrease the Opacity (e.g., to around 65%) to find a better balance between a smooth look and realistic skin texture [01:19, 03:20].
- Neural Filter Combo: You can use Portraiture AI to handle the heavy lifting of blemish removal and then apply Photoshop’s Neural Filters on top for further refinement [03:37].
- Custom Presets: If you find a specific slider configuration you like, you can save it as a custom preset for future use [01:51].
Verdict
While the plugin is highly effective and fast, the creator notes that the high price point is a significant factor to consider when deciding whether to purchase it [03:48, 03:59].
