icon in the Custom Styles category to create your own template. You can retouch the face by adjusting the features in the Cleanup group.

button in the Apply
drop-down list to save this new style.

drop-down list. This Apply drop-down menu includes three options:
1. The Save
button. With this button, you can save the parameters you've set in the DIY panel as a customized style.

Click Save
to save this makeup template.

Key facial points show where the various facial features appear in a specific photo. They are created automatically through face-detection technology but sometimes they can be manually improved to get better results. Click the Adjust key points
button at the bottom of the screen to access the Adjust Key Points screen. On this screen, you'll find the facial points of the original photo displayed on the left. The faces detected will be marked with rectangular boxes. If needed, drag the facial points around the eyes, eyebrows, nose, and mouth to the proper positions.


Portrait+ can detect up to 20 faces in a photo. Once detected, the faces are listed as thumbnails on the bottom left of the preview screen. When you're ready to retouch a face, click the thumbnail to view the face details.

If you don't want to touch-up a face in a photo, click the Adjust key points button. The faces detected are marked with rectangular boxes. Click the Don't process this face
icon on the top right of the thumbnail to cancel the selection. The thumbnail will appear grayed out, and the makeover will not be applied to it. If you want to retouch this face again, click the Process this face again
icon.

The soften skin function is based on the skin area detected in the photo. Sometimes, the skin color of this person's face is similar to others in the picture. The program cannot tell who the specific skin area belongs to. Thus, it will still process the soften skin effect even though you've already cancelled the face selection. If you do not want to apply it to this face, you can click the Adjust Skin Area
icon to erase the face area that you do not want to process.
No, currently you cannot.
Click the Blemish Removal
icon to access the Blemish Removal screen. Use the Blemish Removal tool to get rid of the blemishes.
Yes. Portrait+ will automatically detect the skin area in the photo. If you want to adjust it, click the Adjust Skin Area
icon. You'll find that the skin area detected is masked out. Use the Brush Tool
and the Erase Tool
to add or remove the skin area.
Note: Don't worry about the eyebrows, eyes and mouth area as the program will not apply the soften skin feature to these areas.

Click the Before|After
icon to compare the effect before and after the makeover.

You can move the cursor to the photo thumbnail you'd like to remove, and then click the Delete
icon. You can also press the Delete key to delete it. Click the Remove All
button to delete all the imported photos.

to save modified photos to your hard drive. On the Export Photos screen, choose the desired save location, image quality and image size. Click Start to begin the exporting process.
Yes. On the Export Photos screen, select Custom from the Quality drop-down list. Drag the slider or set the value to change the picture quality.
Yes. On the Export Photos screen, select Filename_Style Name or Filename_Sequence from the Rename to drop-down list. Currently, Portrait+ only supports renaming files in these two ways.
Portrait+ has a user-friendly results comparison function which allows you to choose the best photos from the final results. Once the export process begins, you can click Show Result
or the photo thumbnail in the Export List to compare the original picture with the retouched version. If you are not satisfied with the results, you can just click the Trash
icon to delete it.

Refer to the demo on the right panel when adjusting key points. As shown in the demo, a relevant point is blinking in red and blue. Move the key point to the corresponding position.
The following describes the location of the key points:
