What Makes Portrait Pro Natural

Portrait Pro uses shading, just like a professional makeup artist contouring the model’s face. We will not be covering much about contouring, you can visit [this MUA website](https://rtdisoho.com/MUA/) instead.

This tool gives us better results than chiseling or liquifying our photo. Besides chiseling and liquifying are both needs high precision and very time-consuming.

First, it will detect the face on our photo, and then make some outlining for us to modify, such as eyebrows, chin, cheek, and lips. It’s very intuitive from the first time you’re using it.

It also let us manipulate the lighting to add dimension to a dull and flat photo. Such as those taken with a direct flashlight. Believe it or not, if you ever heard or practice even only Rembrandt lighting, you’re a halfway to making a good close up photo using Portrait Pro.

Destructive VS Non-Destructive

You can treat Portrait Pro as both destructive and non-destructive photo editor. You can always save over the original, or save as another file. You can also save the setting you like as the preset to use on other photos. This is a good option if you’re working on many photos at once that needs the same setting.
