Lip sharpening was already included in earlier versions, but you now have full control over strength and either fine, medium, or coarse methods. Strength adjustment sliders have been added to both light diffusion and color fidelity. This is an excellent addition to the already quite capable auto face detection functionality and allows you to apply the beautification corrections to all faces in your photo. It is now possible to manually add faces, not unlike this feature in portrait pro. There are many possible reasons for this: the face could be too small, not enough contrast in your image or the angle of your shot. The auto face detection of Perfectly Clear version 2 didn’t always find the faces in your image. New features for portraiture Manually add a face and adjust control points This setting allows you to change the range of pixels for wich your exposure changes will apply. Black Pointīlack Point might be a difficult concept to explain. It also prevents skin tones from becoming overly saturated and unnatural. Color VibrancyĪs opposed to saturation, where you increase the intensity of all colors, vibrancy only adds intensity for the muted colors in the image. Similar again to playing with the saturation of color channels, the Foliage enhancer can boost the greens or browns in your image. There is, as always, a slider where you can turn up/down the effect. Options include making the sky a more saturated blue and adding more yellows/reds like what you’d get during sunset or sunrise. Similar to the HSL panel in Adobe Lightroom (Hue-Saturation-Luminance), this tab allows you to add saturation to a specific color channel.

You have up to five stops available, but it is best used moderately if you want to avoid artifacts. Image abundance can be used to recover an over- or underexposed image like the kind you would use in a RAW editor. This is one of the new preprocessing functions available alongside with corrective filter. We”ll have a look at both here and see exactly what they do. Perfectly Clear Version 3 includes some interesting new features for both portrait enhancing and landscape images. If you’d like to read more, you can run through my older review of Perfectly Clear version 2 here. I won’t go through all the features again, I’ll only be looking at the new modules in this post. It’s available in a stand-alone version and as a plug-in from either Lightroom or Photoshop. I mainly like the beautification features for portraiture, but it’s also quite usable for gentle landscape enhancement and can enhance basically any image you run through it. If you’re unclear to what Perfectly clear actually does (pun intended), it’s an intelligent image processor that can basically make any image look better with just a few clicks of a button. This all accumulated in Perfectly Clear v3,5 now available for immediate download. Since my Perfectly Clear v2 review, parent company Athentech has been busy totally rewriting this plug-in and adding new features. Perfectly clear v3 review (updated for 3.5) Introduction
