How to Use Portrait Enhance in Luminar 4.2

In this video walkthrough watch, as I show you how to use the Portrait Enhance features in Luminar 4.2. The update of Luminar 4.2 has cool features called Portrait Enhance. Using the program you can completely retouch portraits including using the software AI to smooth the skin. The amazing thing about this is, unlike most other skin retouch filters, Luminar keeps the pores intact. But it does not stop there you can also manually refine the skin yourself, if you do not have the results you want, using the sliders. Not only can you smooth the skin naturally but can retouch all the other elements on a portrait with easy to use sliders including face shape, eyebrows, and eye enhance, which really makes the eyes pop. In this video tutorial, I show how to use the feature on three different images of mine.

This feature is great for beginners who want to ease their way into retouching portraits or photographers who want to give their portraits that high-end look without spending the countless hours on it. The feature is very easy to use with just a dialog box and a few sliders. Check out the video and let me know what you think.

Luminar ia a decent editor, but a lousy raw processor.

I never start the process there, it simply murders the raw file. I I
Use it as a Lightroom plugin

It is a good program for doing some skin repairs, but I gotta say, these three samples do not do it justice.
