OT: Portraiture (software)

[msteiner99]

Does anyone use this software? I just got Adobe Creative Suite 4 for Christmas, and thought I'd be done spending oodles of money on software for awhile. Buuuuuuuuuuuut, I downloaded a trial of the Portraiture plug in and I am in love. I don't have another $200 (actually more than that, because I need Noiseware too) to spend on software right now.

Is there anything out there that is similar for less money?

Thanks!

I had portraiture at one time but never used it. But I highly recommend Noiseware!

I have PSP so I did not know what you were talking about so I had to look it up and OMGosh that software is AMAZING!! I checked out some sample images on the website and the software made the blemishes, scars etc basically disappear yet retained the skins appearance. Sorry I know thats no help but it really is amazing LOL. Hope you can find something that works. I know I had the chance to get Photoshop but didnt do it because I am so used to PSP and felt like the learning curve would be to hard for me.

I did a quick check and this apparently seems to be very similar. It can be used as a stand-alone or as a plug-in with photoshop and its only 99.95 so not quite as much as you are looking at. It does come as a free download for trial so maybe you could try it out and see how it works compared to what you have been using
