Looking for a Lightroom or Photoshop plug-in that does skin retouching.

Anyone have any experience with Portraiture or anything similar?

Will be using it for obviously portraiture work and wedding work.

Thanks.

I am not sure if this option might help in anyway ...
once u mask certain area in light room ...or lets say u used the adjustment brush and mask the face alone....
you can apply additional amount of exposure or brightness contrast or soft skin..... if u already know this and thats not what you looking for ...ignore this ...
cheers

there are loads of plug-ins for retouching, never used any of them, photoshop has enough tools and ways to do it pretty easily and fast

Imagenomic Portraiture is one of the better ones on the market IMHO. Just don't get too carried away with it and make everyone look like plastic. lol

It's kind of buggy with CS4 and CS5. Worked flawlessly with CS3. ARGH!

This is good info - re CS4 & CS5 - I haven't upgraded from CS3 yet (don't see a need to just yet).

I would agree.
I've tried numerous methods regarding skin retouching and Portraiture is the one that turns out to be "the least plastic looking".

It retains just enough of the persons character while making them all "young" again :D

Cheers,
Dave

Thanks for the info.

The most recent update/patch for 2.x fixes a few bugs and seems a lot more stable on CS5 BUT it does cause CS5 to crash the odd time.

Carlton, you on Windows?

I wonder what Mac users are experiencing (if not the same thing)?

Cheers,
