Since
its release on January 31, 2011, Portrait
Professional has remained popular among the public. Excellent airbrushing
technology helps to win a great number of customers. With the advertisements
published on almost every website, Portrait Professional seems to consolidate
its position among the industry of portrait processing.
It can’t be denied that Portrait Professional performs
well in this field. However, the threat coming from competitors is hard to be
neglected. On July 13, 2012, ArcSoft launched Portrait+, a style-based auto
retoucher, aiming at helping professionals to resolve the most time-consuming
work during the optimization of photos. Now it is better to make a comparison
to figure out whether Portrait+ is qualified to be a rival.
First,
both of them have style-based templates for quick enhancement. Portrait+
possesses 20 kinds of styles which focus on not only cleanup but also makeup.
Although Portrait Professional owns more templates, it lays emphasis
on makeup. But Portrait Professional provides handy fine-tuning tool to
customize your ideal style and save it as template. Next time, there is no need
to modify options one by one. Furthermore, the retouch effect of Portrait+ is
modest while Portrait Professional gorgeous.
Second,
both of them apply face detection technology and are able to make adjustment if
necessary. For Portrait Professional, it needs to position 5 spots before
detection. Conversely, Portrait+ can precisely pinpoint facial feature. Besides,
it can detect up to 20 faces in one photo automatically. However, it is hard
for Portrait Professional to realize for it has to detect face by manually
click.
Third,
although this two products aims at different target customer, they pursue
convenience and speediness equally. Portrait Professional provides any photography
the best quality of portraits with easy operation. Guided by tips, it is not
hard to retouch photos. With more practice, you will get familiar and speed up.
But compared with Portrait+, Portrait Professional is much slower. The
highlight of Portrait+ is the function of batch processing. It can
batch-import, process and export hundreds of photos in minutes, which largely
improve productivity.
