p.1 #4 · Imagenomics vs ortrait Pro 8 | |
I use Portrait Professional Studio version 9 as of recently. The program has certainly evovled nicely, and does a killer job in virtually every image that I choose to use it on. It's certainly not for EVERY image - but this is true of every other piece of software out there. I find that, for the price, it's a very effective tool when used properly. The things I most like about PP studio is the 16 bit TIFF support (it supports RAW as well - but I haven't actually tried it on a RAW file - maybe have to try that), the pricing is excellent for what it does, and finally the fact that it runs as a stand-alone product actually appeals to me in my workflow. In short, RAW to TIFF--16 usually in DPP - over to PP Studio for skin and hair work when needed or desired (I usually dial down the Face Sculpting) - and finally into PS for any other effects or editing that is required. What I find is that I have very little need for PS in many cases when I use PP - and it's MUCH faster on my computer than PS.
I Jim said though... it's really subjective.
Cheers!
