Anyone using this? I do not have any decent pp software except an ancient version of PSP

http://www.portraitprofessional.com/press/

This seems to be what I need? Anyone using that

I will use it as standalone not as a plug in to CS3

No clue. The trial version does not tell me much

The reality is some subject may like that. And there is control to pinpoint any modification only if needed

The control and concept is cool to use

It does not allow me to save it for posting unless if I buy the software.

Take the sample pic on their site with a grain of salt. They're not THE greatest examples BUT on another forum I'm on, PortraitPro is okay but not as good as Imagenomic Portraiture. As usual, the sample pics on Imagenomic site sucks as well. The key is to use is sparingly. If you overdo the look, the models look like they have plastic skin.

Again, it all depends on the look you're after.

I know the need not to overdo that . Anyway the dealbreaker is this: it does not do resizing (confirmed with the software provider). I cannot figure it out why it just does not finish it as I do not have cs3 to use it as a plug in.

Here is what they say in their email. Their logic really sucks re the last line of their email copied below

****************************************************
In the Picture Controls, you will find the sliders to change Contrast, Shadows, etc. of the whole picture. I am afraid we do not have a resizing tool. Having said that, after enhancement s with Portrait Professional, files are normally smaller in size.

Warm regards,
