Has anyone here ever used it..? It is awesome...

 

[tinksdad]

I just tried it. Pretty amazing, and for less than $40 it's a bargin!!

Thanks for the heads up!!

I found it Friday night on OneModelPlace while checking my referrals, I dowloaded the free trial and after doing this pic, I immediately bought it, I've basically done similar edits with PAint SHop Pro, but this is so much faster, the time saving is worth it..

these were done with the basic settings..it's amazing how you can open eyes that are partially closed, etc..

wow! That could even make ME look good. Now that is a program I am gonna have to get.

 

[MICKEY88]

it is incredibly easy...it works best on straight on headshots....

 

[boBQuincy]

There are a number of free actions at actions central (atncentral.com) that do similar things but certainly not as easy or as fancy this.
Cheaper, though...

Looks interesting- I may have to check it out.

 

[MICKEY88]

paint shop pro has all the features built in that will do this, blemish remover, wrinkle remover.... skin smoother, glamor film mode....

but opening the mouth or eyes, is a whole other story..



for me it's worth 39, just for the time it will save me..

I

Just my $.02, but this doesn't even look like the same person anymore. Not sure if that is what I want reflected in my photos. I really like to capture people as they are. Blemish remover, teeth whitening - I can go for that. But completely changing someone's appearance - I don't know. Not sure I want to make my mom look younger than me. That might raise a few eyebrows!

to each his own.... I think it looks like the same person, all I did was removed wrinkles and shine.,,, good makeup or powder would have accomplished much of the same...., it's not like I changed her nose/eyes. or facial shape..,, the software gives you a fair degree of control.. you can change as much as you want ,, realistically blemish removal sure,,but even teeth whitening really isn't good if you truely want to capture people as they are,

on the flip side, since the client pays, if they want me to shave a few years off, I will do it, I would never alter a photo like that on my own...

it's nothing that hasn't been done for years, either with a portrait lens, if you remember those, or a soft diffuser filter...rather than a makeover/glamour shoot, you do the work digitally.. and it's much cheaper than hirng a MUA...

Well, on the flip side, if I could shave a few pounds off digitally - now we're talking!

You can!! Have you used the PhotoShop Liquify process?


Only trouble is that you can't take the results with you......

 

[MICKEY88]

I agree with tinksdad..

it can be done,,I've done a few digital tummy tucks...with PAint Shop PRo Photo .LOL

if it's just a head shot this software, makes it easy to slim a face also..

Not sure I would go as far as saying "it does not look like the same person", but IMO the after shot looks a bit too digital for my tastes. I am sure you can adjust the intensity of the transformation, IE tone it down.

But I do really like the results of the second example.

Mikey88, I've been buying make-up for years. Trust me, there ain't NO bottle of make-up or powder that can make that much of a difference!

that's why I included 2 examples, the subtle change on the teen...

and the more drastic change on the Woman actually occured because when I showed it to her she said "I like it...too bad you can't get rid of the age lines."....

so I did.... she loved it and wanted a print of the before and after..

 

[SplshMtn99]

Wow! That's cool. DH has scarring from acne as a teen. I bet that could do wonders. While make-up can hid most of what bothers me about my face, I'll take a face slimming & tummy tuck any day.

I liked that feature/process as well. You have total control over how much and where the "changes" are made.
