A: In Photoshop, use it on a duplicate layer or as a Smart Filter (though Smart Filter support is partial – mask may need reapplication). Best practice: duplicate layer → apply Portraiture → add layer mask.

Imagenomic Portraiture is a professional Photoshop, Lightroom, and Aperture plugin (standalone version also available) designed for intelligent skin retouching . It automates skin smoothing while preserving texture, reducing the need for manual dodge & burn or frequency separation. Key Features (Full Version) | Feature | Description | |--------|-------------| | Automatic skin mask | Detects skin tones and creates a mask; you can manually refine it. | | Threshold control | Fine-tunes which tonal ranges (shadows, midtones, highlights) are smoothed. | | Detail contrast | Restores skin texture after smoothing (prevents plastic look). | | Softness & sharpness | Adjustable sliders for overall smoothing intensity. | | Preset system | Save/load custom settings (e.g., "Men's skin", "High-res beauty"). | | Batch processing | Apply same settings to multiple images (via Photoshop automation). | | Mask preview modes | View the actual affected area (white = full effect, black = none). | | Standalone mode | (Full version) Works without host app – useful for non-destructive workflows. | Full Version vs. Lite Version (Built-in Photoshop) Many people confuse the Lite version (bundled with some Wacom tablets or older PS copies) with the full commercial version.
