PT Portrait

There are many factors that influence the end result of trying to take a good picture and they cannot always be controlled. Luckily, with the help of specialized applications you are able to later post-process any image to remove imperfections. PT Portrait is one of them and attempts to do so to what the name suggests.

You don't have to worry about your computer's configuration when considering to install this application. It roughly takes about 10 Mb of space on your hard disk drive and there's no CPU that refuses to run it.

A modern interface is put at your disposal with a decent workspace that can be split into two sections to get a better view on the original file and your adjustments. You are able to carefully adjust nearly all available details, but don't let this scare you, because doing so is no rocket science.

The first features the application gives you access to are a few sliders for color adjustment. Fitting is the next step and requires you to set face points for the following options. And example is displayed so you precisely place each dot.

With only a few mouse clicks the portrait is populated with lines and dots that can further be arranged if not properly placed automatically. The last two steps give you access to several more advanced options. Each face element can be adjusted. From enhancing through color, or even modifying it to reshaping to apply, for example a smile, nearly anything can be managed.

Unfortunately, there is no implemented function that allows you to save configurations to have them quickly applied, nor are there any presets to choose from. It would have come in handy, seeing how all imported images are displayed in a list and you can easily access them.

To sum it up, PT Portrait is a handy application you might consider keeping around if one too many portraits are found on your camera or hard disk drive. Even though mostly anything can be tempered with, it is accessible to anyone, regardless of previous experience in photo editing.
