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

Free iPhone ringtone from Geoff ”I’m a TWiT” Smith

RingtoneFeeder has announced a free tribute ringtone named “Worldwide hello” to mark the release of the new iPhone 3G and taking the opportunity to send a friendly native “hello” from RingtoneFeeder to the many new countries finally getting the iPhone. There is also a free demo feed available so the service can be tried out with no obligation. The free feed contains a few sample ringtones as well as an introduction video and a PDF guide to managing ringtones via iTunes.

“The release of the new iPhone 3G is an important event for us and we would like to welcome the many new iPhone uses around the world by giving them a dedicated ringtone and saying ‘hello’ in their native language. We are matching the languanges of the first batch of countries where the iPhone 3G is released.” said Geoff Smith, Partner and Producer at RingtoneFeeder.

RingtoneFeeder is a new and innovative approach to ringtones offering a subscription model which automatically installs two new original ringtones on the iPhone via iTunes every week. The earlier a subscription to the service is made the bigger collection the subscriber will have. When a ringtone has been released it will not appear in the weekly updates ever again. The 10 latest ringtones are delivered when subscribing and then an additional two new ringtones every week.

There is also a free demo feed available so the service can be tried out with no obligations. The free feed contains a few sample ringtones as well as an introduction video and a PDF guide to managing ringtones via iTunes.

Geoff Smith has been producing and playing music most of his life and is mostly known online from his jingles heard on Adam Curry’s Daily Source Code Podcast, GeekBrief, Tips from The Top Floor, ScreenCasts Online, the successful iYule project and recently the theme song for TWiT Live (pictured here). Geoff began composing jingles and theme songs for podcasters back in 2005 and has literally written hundreds.
