Focused skin retouching that separates texture from tone so blemishes go and pores stay, running standalone or as a plugin inside a host editor.
SkinFiner does one job and does not pretend otherwise. It smooths skin without turning it into plastic, which sounds simple and is the single hardest thing in portrait retouching to get right. The engine separates the image into a texture layer and a tone layer, works on them independently, and recombines them, so you can flatten uneven colour and blotchiness while leaving pore detail, fine hair and the specular highlights that make a face read as real.
The controls are laid out as a small set of sliders that each do something visible. Smooth for the overall pass, texture for how much of the original surface survives it, tone evening for redness and blotch, brightness and contrast on the skin only, and a colour section for shifting skin tone warm or cool without dragging the rest of the frame with it. There are also targeted sliders for shine reduction, dark circle lifting and blemish removal.
Selection is automatic by default. The skin detection finds faces and skin regions on its own and builds a mask, and you refine it with a brush when the automatic pass grabs a wooden floor or a sandy background, which it occasionally will. The mask is viewable on its own so you can see exactly what is being affected before you commit.
It runs as a standalone application for quick single image work and as a plugin inside the common host editors, where it appears as a filter and returns the result to a layer. Batch mode applies a saved preset across an entire shoot, which is where the time saving actually is on a wedding or an event set of several hundred frames.

Pull the smooth slider back further than feels right. The result reads better at full size than it does in the preview.
The plugin only registers if the host editor is closed during installation.
