Imagenomic Portraiture Tutorial Review - Expanded

This video is available Free for Everyone.
Running Time: 12 minutes

This is a longer Imagenomic Portraiture Tutorial for those who want to learn more about the product. For those with limited attention spans, I have a shorter version at this Imagenomic Portraiture Tutorial Condensed page. While the content is the same at it's core, this version here is a bit longer, and goes into more detail on how I use the software.

But, why do I use Imagenomic Portraiture? Because creating professional-looking portraits doesn’t need years of Photoshop experience. In this fast-paced world of mass picture-taking and high-speed photo sharing, nobody has the time to painstakingly retouch every detail in every image. I know I certainly don't, time is money.

Thankfully, Imagenomic Portraiture saves the day with the easiest way to make

Corel AfterShot Pro Review

Corel AfterShot Pro Review

This video is available Free for Everyone.
Running Time: 11 minutes

I want to start this review by saying that this product took me by surprise. I was expecting something that was mediocre, and I instantly fell in love with all the powerful features build right into the software. You may be thinking that I am just trying to pitch Corel AfterShot Pro to you, but I am quite serious, I genuinely love this program, and I would use it in my own studio as well. Sadly, I had already spent $600 on a competitor's solution.

Corel AfterShot Pro competantly joins together Image Cataloging Software, with a RAW Processor. This means you can keep track of thousands of images (I have over 20,000 myself), and make quick Color Correction edits without the need for any other software. Everything I could think that I wanted to do, was built right into the software. Check out the video,

Imagenomic Noiseware Review

Image Noise. It's unavoidable.

Any time you want to take an indoor picture, your camera will either manually, or automatically, raise the ISO. Bam, you have noise. It does not matter if it's a $150 point and shoot, or a $5000 Professional DSLR. Noise, it's terrible, and unavoidable. Some images are better, some are worse. When you have an image with noise from a High ISO that you need to remove, you have two choices. Very complex techniques in Adobe Photoshop, or plugin software that will allow for very fast, and great looking results, Even as a professional, I always (and I mean always) use plug in software to help me reduce noise, or even remove it all together, This is my Imagenomic Noiseware Review.

Portrait Professional 10 Review

This video is available Free for Everyone.
Running Time: 15 minutes

This is a video Portrait Professional 10 Review. You simply can not go to a Photoshop related website without seeing ads for Portrait Professional 10. To the point of Ad Nauseum, these obnoxious ads are everywhere. When I signed up for Adsense, to put some revenue onto my website, www.theartofretouching.com, the first ad delivered to me was for this software. I immediately blocked the ad from showing on my website. This is because there was no way I was going to advertise it, before testing it myself. This is my Portrait Professional 10 Review.

OnOne Perfect Resize vs. Photoshop Unsharp Mask Review

This video is available Free for Everyone.
Running Time: 14 minutes

This is a video review comparing onOne Perfect Resize and Adobe Photoshop built in Unsharp Mask. This is stand alone software, or also available as part of the Perfect Photo Suite package. Im going to have one image on the left side, which will be blown up with Adobe Photoshop. The one on the right will be blown up with OnOne Perfect Size. I will also be comparing the strengths of each, and determine if Perfect Resize is really worth the cost.

You have heard in forums and blogs that Genuine Fractals has its latest version out called onOne Perfect Resize and you are just itching to buy it. Of course, its not cheap, but you are a professional, you say; you have to stay on top of your game. But then again, if you spend all that money and only end up using it once
