OpenRetouch vs Portraiture
Imagenomic Portraiture is a long-standing skin-smoothing plugin for Photoshop and Lightroom. OpenRetouch focuses on separating tone from texture — healing, dodge & burn and tone evening — instead of global smoothing, and adds eyes, teeth, wrinkles, backdrop and batch tools.
| Portraiture | OpenRetouch | |
|---|---|---|
| Approach | Skin smoothing filter | Frequency-separated heal, D&B and tone layers |
| Eyes, teeth, wrinkles, backdrop | — | Included |
| Result | Smoothed layer | Separate editable layers per tool |
