At the dawn of the HD age, a certain TV titan was about to be video taped for an interview at The Consumer Electronics Show. As we were surrounded by brand new HD plasma TV’s, the crew were all so proud of our technical wonder screens, we were taken aback by her outrage at the image on the screen. You see HD was showing things that she didn’t want others to see at her advancing age.
4K has now quadrupled that. Even the most dazzlingly beauty is unmasked right down to the size of her pores under the scrutiny of a full face shot.
Skin retouching is fine art or at least it should be. Most other skin retouching plugins bludgeon their way into transforming a beautiful face into a manikin like plastic smear.
The challenges of 4K filmmaking are numerous. Critical focus, perfect lighting and eye popping scenery all combined with good solid storytelling and the highest production values. In the past the look of your actors was left to the make up department.
That all changed with a truly amazing software plugin for video from a company who got it right with photo skin retouching. Imagenomic has stepped up it’s game and created a new set of algorithms to utilize it’s award winning skin smoothing software for still photography and apply it to video.
Whether you shoot SD, HD, 4K or even 6K with the Epic Dragon sensors, you need this plugin. Available for Adobe After Effects, Adobe Premiere Pro, Apple Final Cut Pro, Sony Vegas Pro, and DaVinci Resolve, Imagenomic Portraiture is a must have tool in your post production arsenal.
Here is a short clip with before, after and a side by side comparison of the plugin at work. While our model Xanny is beautiful, look at the subtle improvements that happen once Imagenomic Portraiture is applied.
Equally important is the mask selection. Without a good tight parameter mask no amount of retouching would be worth anything. Imagenomic Portraiture mask is lean and mean and gives you enough parameters to adjust and fine tune it to maximum efficiency.
The bottom line is that I have discovered an invaluable tool that has become a vutal part of my post production workflow. Check it out with the 15 day free trial. Imagenomic Portraiture offers a one year license for $99.
