Spring has a way of inspiring artists, and photographers are no different. Many a shutterbug will be dusting off their camera gear right about now.

PortraitPro Studio 19 is the latest major release of this dedicated portrait editing software. Version 19 is based on advances in deep learning, with the most sophisticated artificial neural networks, trained on vast amounts of data, driving the editing process. This makes it possible to edit portraits in only seconds, to the highest standards, rivalling traditional software in terms of quality, time, and cost. 

Most photographers would rather spend their time shooting than sitting behind a computer editing their work. But let’s face it: As much as we’d like to “get it right in the camera,” a few tweaks to color, contrast, exposure, and other variables can often turn a good image onto a great one.

No human being is created perfect, and photographers probably know that firsthand. Still, everyone wants to look best in their portraits. That desire usually translates into hours of tedious retouching with Photoshop or the likes of it. Whether you are a fashion, an event, or a wedding photographer, you probably wish to make portrait enhancing a breeze. Well, there is software that can grant you that wish.

For over a decade, PortraitPro (formerly Portrait Professional) has been popular with photographers looking to retouch their own images in-house. The easy to use interface makes it easy to customize nearly every part of your edit, making it ideal for everything from high-fashion to family portraits. PortraitPro 18 brought AI to the table, making for a significantly faster and more accurate editing experience. The latest offering, PortraitPro 19, was released in mid-October. So what can users expect from this new version?

Streamlining the photographic workflow tops the list for most digital photographers, whether professional or hobbyist. After all, you put a great deal of time and effort into capturing that perfect shot - the concept, the subject, the location, the lighting –  so the last thing you want to do is spend tons of time having to recreate that perfect image just because you used different lenses when shooting, or you needed to make significant color adjustments to suit your monitor (or several monitors!) not to mention more tweaking when it comes to your printer and other output devices.

The Sedona Photography Symposium has recently added five renowned photographers to its already impressive lineup of presenters. The inaugural event on August 22 - 25, 2019 in Sedona, Arizona. Participants will not be disappointed!
