Not just a pretty face…

UK-developed Portrait Professional 9 touch-up software from Anthropics Technology continues to reap international recognition and awards.

We caught up with CEO Andrew Berend for his overview on why their product was proving so popular worldwide.

“What makes Portrait Professional so useful is that it is the first photo editing software that is not just simply a tool … this software is ‘intelligent’ as it has actually been trained in human beauty. The programme has been shown thousands of photographs of human faces and learnt for itself what makes faces attractive.

“The software automatically adapts its controls for any particular face. For instance, if a face has a big double chin, the ‘jaw slider’ will automatically reduce the jaw, and conversely, if the jaw is too small, the jaw slider will automatically enlarge it. This makes Portrait Professional vastly easier and quicker to use than Photoshop. Literally no technical skill is required. You really can make your subjects look great just by moving sliders to improve the overall face, and by using the intelligent touch up brush to improve problem areas such as wrinkles and spots.”
