Mister Retro releases Permanent Press for Photoshop….give your projects that ”crappy printing” look on purpose

permpress 20080813 152639 Mister Retro releases Permanent Press for Photoshop....give your projects that crappy printing look on purposeI have been a fan of Mister Retro’s Machine Wash Photoshop Filters for a long while now. Today, the company released a new plug-in called Permanent Press.

With this new filter set you can simulate authentic looking rubber stamp, offset and letterpress printing effects with that vintage tactile look that previously could only be achieved by shoddy production work, under maintained machinery and disgruntled pressman. Now you can have the whole shebang for USD$99 and you’ll be set to make convincing looking antique comic books, advertising, packaging, matchbooks, etc.

Using the filters is simple: experiment! The interfaces for Mister Retro’s filters have always been one of the most pleasurable parts of using them. They encourage “play” and maintain the vintage theme that helps you transport yourself as well as your artwork to those olden days you are trying to emulate.

Portrait Professional 8 makes you look like a cover model

PortraitProfessional 20080717 194428 Portrait Professional 8 makes you look like a cover model

Today Anthropics Technology released Portrait Professional 8, their intelligent portrait airbrushing software that has been ‘trained’ in human beauty. I’ve been playing with Portrait Professional for a few days now, and I have to say, it is amazing. It lets you improve your photos by first telling the software where a few key facial features are located and then it’s just a matter of moving a few sliders.

Portrait Professional requires practically now artistic ability to use nor does it require Photoshop skills. All you have to do is choose how much to enhance the lighting, the skin texture and even how many wrinkles to remove.

I pointed Portrait Professional at a few of the online elite and the results are shown after the “read more.” The examples shown have been “extremely altered” to show the big adjustments that can be made quickly and easily with the application. Normally, I wouldn’t have altered any of these images as much as I have…if at all. To see some subtle and believable ways the software can be used, check out the developer’s website or download the demo and try it for yourself.

Portrait Professional is currently selling at half price–Just USD$79.95
