Portrait Professional (or "PortraitProfessional", first released in July 2006) and Portrait Professional Studio are image editors for Windows and OS X, specifically targeted at editing portrait photographs.[1]
Rather than using brushes as a traditional image editor does, the user of Portrait Professional first describes where the face is in the picture,[2] then most of the transformations are done through sliders. One of the unique, but controversial[3] features is the ability to automatically reshape the face to fit a model of beauty.[4][5]
Portrait Professional Studio does the above and additionally handles raw files, 16 bit tiffs and color profiles. It is also available as a Photoshop plugin.
