Is Portraiture worth the money

Will Portrait Professional IYO smooth the skin on bodies or is it just for faces?

Faces are recognized automatically, the rest of skin can be easily added by painting over it with an intelligent (edge detecting) brush.

I prefer Portraiture because it woks as a plugin for photoshop. I edit the more obvious blemishes in photoshop, make any other changes I want, then I just click on the filter menu and launch portraiture. If I remember right it creates a separate layer so you can easily edit the changes it made in photoshop.

Portrait Professional is a stand-alone program so you have to work in photoshop, save the file, open in Portrait Professional, make edits, save it again, then open it in photoshop.

Thanks so I really would want the higher resolution therefore need the 16 bit 'Studio version'.

Bit depth has nothing to do with resolution; but everything to do with color depth.

Suggest you try Portrait Professional, with sculpting Off and the other sliders toned down.

I agree, it even comes with a photoshop plugin installer so you can use it as stand alone or as a plugin.
