People use Photoshop to retouch photos because of its comprehensive feature set. But not everyone can photoshop portrait proficiently. Even for photographers, repeated pixel-by-pixel adjustment is terribly time-consuming. A basic portrait retouching process in Photoshop typically includes the following steps:

1. Duplicate Layers ready for applying the effects

2. Apply the "Diffuse Glow", "High Pass" or other filters to Layers

3. Lower the opacity of effect layers to fine-tune the area of skin softening

4. Use brushes to manually eliminate imperfections like freckles and wrinkles on the face

5. Paint away any softening effect over the subject's eyes, mouth and other areas that shouldn't be softened.


Now a Photoshop Plug-in specialized for Portrait retouching can help you simplify the workflow and free you from repetitive manual editing. Portrait+ Photoshop Plug-in provides your desired effects with simple processing, and you don't have to edit and transfer images over multiple platforms just to get the final retouched portraits.
