Enhanced Efficiency and Speed

The Beauty Box Photo plugin significantly accelerates the skin retouching process for photographers and digital artists. Its optimized performance, boasting speeds up to 600% faster through OpenCL utilization on both AMD and Nvidia graphics cards, dramatically reduces editing time. The inclusion of an automatic mask generation feature further streamlines workflows by accurately selecting skin tones, minimizing manual adjustments. This speed advantage, coupled with batch processing capabilities, allows for the efficient retouching of large volumes of images, making it an invaluable tool for high-volume photographers and photo labs seeking to maximize productivity.

Smart Skin Enhancement

Beauty Box Photo offers a suite of intelligent features designed to achieve natural-looking and professional skin enhancements. The “Smart Skin Smoothing” controls employ sophisticated algorithms to smooth skin while preserving essential texture, avoiding the artificial “plastic” look often associated with less advanced retouching methods. The “Shine Reduction” slider provides a crucial tool for mitigating unwanted highlights caused by lighting, ensuring a more balanced and polished final image. Furthermore, the ability to “Add Texture” allows users to subtly reintroduce fine skin details lost during smoothing for  a more realistic and refined result. 

Versatile Options and Precise Control

Beyond basic skin smoothing, the Beauty Box Photo plugin provides a range of creative options and precise controls. There are over 30 preset styles to enable users to quickly apply various color effects, lending images a glamorous, fashionable, or even dramatic appearance. While the automatic masking is highly effective, advanced mask tools are available for users who require more granular control over skin selection. Additionally, the detail-sharpening controls make it easy to preserve details on important elements like hair and jewelry, ensuring that the overall image retains its sharpness and clarity even after skin retouching.
