According to user reviews, the default settings in Portraiture produce natural results without creating a plasticky look. Even the most dramatic presets retain texture if used responsibly. The ability to output the result to a separate Photoshop layer means you can easily dial back the opacity of the effect, blending the original texture with the smoothed layer for a hyper-realistic finish.

Using the build is incredibly straightforward, which is why it appeals to both beginners and seasoned pros.
