Imagenomic

When people ask me whether to choose portraiture over portrait professional, I usually will go in this direction. Portraiture by imagenomic was designed for the busy professional who knows photoshop but for the sake of time would rather automate the tedious process of touching up photos. If you have a single masterpiece you are working on then obviously you would do it by hand and use photoshop. If a client is waiting on 30 photos and you have an hour to deliver them, then portraiture comes to your rescue. Probably not the best tool for an amateur as it really only shines when in the hands of a professional who already knows photoshop and uses it as a plug in. As this is a review of the website and they also sell noiseware, I will also say that is an excellent plug in and if you do a lot of high ISO shooting then it is a lifesaver. Though I think these days with sensors becoming better and ISO of 6400, the need for noise reduction is luckily becoming less and less. Still as a package deal for both of them it is worth the price.

It's a very good product but customer service is a zero. It looks like there is a piece of code that checks the license key online. So when you are offline for couple days, it de-activates the key. This has been happening on my machine for a some months. For security, when I am not using my computer, I disconnect internet. That means every time I get back online, I have to re-enter the license which I have been keeping on the desktop for this reason. Recently, after starting to get tired of this, I emailed them to ask why this was happening. They asked me for info from the photoshop help section. I provided the information as requested. The response comes that they can't answer my question because I am using Windows 7 which is no longer supported by Microsoft. I don't have this problem with Photoshop on the same PC, Nik Collection on the same PC and Capture One on the same PC. On top of that, Microsoft support has nothing to do with their product. Even in their emails, there is no name of the person responding, it just support.
