Overall this is an impressive upgrade to an already excellent product. Busy professionals will welcome the extra speed donated by the auto-recognition especially if they have to deal with a group shot. We did some bench-marking on a series of wedding shots. It took us 50 seconds to retouch a pair of faces in a shot, one female and one male. On a group shot of five females it took 12 seconds for the program to identify all the faces and the a couple of seconds under three minutes to process all of the faces in succession. The required save to Tiff file took a further 41 seconds on completion of the retouch. At this rate an average time of five minutes per small group would seem close to the mark. This brings the workflow into commercially viable territory (especially if you are able to charge for it).

CONCLUSION

This is a good upgrade to an already sound product. The saving in time will easily pay for the cost of the upgrade, although busy users of Portrait Professional will already be many pounds (sterling!) ahead of the game.
