Skin retouching that smooths tone while keeping pore detail, with automatic mask generation and batch processing across a whole shoot.
Portraiture is the plugin that made high volume retouching viable. Manual skin work through frequency separation produces the best result and takes twenty minutes a frame, which is fine for one hero image and impossible for four hundred portraits from a school shoot or a conference. Portraiture does the tonal smoothing automatically while leaving the texture that makes skin look like skin, and it does it in seconds.
The mask is the part that matters. It builds a skin tone mask from the image itself, sampled either automatically or from points you pick, and confines everything it does to that mask. Eyes, lips, hair, jewellery, clothing and background are untouched, which is why the result does not have the plastic quality that a blanket blur produces. The mask can be previewed on its own, adjusted for hue, saturation and luminance range, and feathered at its edges.
Smoothing is split across detail scales rather than applied as one blur. Fine, medium and large detail each have their own strength, so you can flatten uneven tone across a cheek while keeping pores and fine lines intact. Alongside the smoothing there are enhancement controls for sharpness, softness, warmth, tint, brightness and contrast, applied inside the mask, which handles the small colour corrections skin usually needs at the same time.
It installs as a filter in Photoshop and as an external editor plugin in Lightroom, and the Photoshop version works on smart objects so the effect stays adjustable. Presets cover the common cases from a light pass on a well lit studio portrait to heavy work on difficult available light, and custom presets save the whole configuration including the mask settings. Batch processing runs a preset across a folder, which is the entire point on a large job.

Sample the mask manually on mixed lighting. The automatic sample is good on even light and struggles when half the face is in shade.
Run it on a duplicate layer or a smart object. Applying it destructively removes the option to dial it back later.
