Has anyone done an evaluation of these 2 products?
Is one better than the other in terms of results and usability?
I think price wise they're the same.

I'm surprised no one replied.
I would have thought this comparison was done already.

Tried this? Mizuno's Super Airbrush PP Tutorial! (56K Warning) (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=171753)

Well I have Kodak's Digital Gem Airbrush Pro and it works great for me, so why look elsewhere. It runs as part of an action I set up usually, so very easy to use. What more could I want.

The Super airbrush tutorial will teach you how to do an even better job, but then it takes considerably longer. For what I need, speed is important as long as it is good enough to meet my standards.

I would have replied earlier, but I missed this one because I usually only look at the first page.

To me the key to the Kodak Airbrush Plug-in is running it via the Air Dimensional Action rather the running it by it self. I find my images maintain much better detail in the shadows and none skin areas of the image when using the action/plug-in together rather then the plug-in by itself.

Personally I prefer the natural look of skin so I use them very sparingly and have the plug-in step of the action flagged so I can adjust the level of the effect to the bare minimum usually between 60 and 80 %. Also run it a separate layer so if necessary I can apply a layer mask to paint back in details as need/desired.

I have both and I almost never use the Kodak. To me the results from Portraiture are much better.

UNR,

Which is easier to use?
Why Portraiture over Kodak?
Thanks.

The interface and controls along with the presettings are nicer on portraiture + the end result just looks better to me.
