But it’s quite surprising, and I cannot wait to finalize both reviews to share the results with you.
#MAC PICKTORIAL SKIN#
Perhaps, like Alien Skin Exposure II, having a catalog-free image handling helps speed things up, I’m not sure. My quick test with it seems to confirm these performances as the software is extremely responsive on my MacBook Pro Retina, much more than Lightroom. Picktorial promises excellent performances, up to 30 times faster for some tools. However, without speed, even the most unique feature won’t be useful the many photographers owning Xeon-based configurations and relying on Lightroom know something about it. The brush works similarly to creating a frequency separation and then smoothing out transitions in the lower frequency.įeatures are great, and Picktoral has everything it needs: edge-aware brush, selective tonal adjustments, single space workflow (no mode or module like in Lightroom), smart extensions for MacOS Photos, assistant view (similar to reference view in Lightroom), and more. While it probably won’t replace high-end retouching, it’s an excellent way to speed up the editing process for people shooting weddings, portraits, families, and the likes.

They can even be combined with blending modes for further adjustments.īut it goes even further with a skin smoothing brush. Luminosity and color masks are available to create very refined selections. The non-destructive image editor also brings a lot more than just what you’d expect, especially in the local adjustment department. No need for a plugin, you can browse the libraries natively and retain all the powerful editing capabilities of Picktorial. Amongst the more original features, we find one that past Aperture users will most likely love: the compatibility of Aperture Libraries.
