Imagenomic Portraiture, Canon G11

After some mandatory fun in the Middle East, I'm back to resume more frequent posts. Prior to my departure several months ago, I tried a plugin for Adobe Lightroom - Imagenomic Portraiture.  With little tinkering beyond the default settings, all I can say is wow!  Portraiture is not a cheap plugin but if you want faces to look amazing, this is a great tool.  For the average shutterbug who cannot afford the cash for a professional makeup artist, studio and lighting setup, this will set you back a couple hundred and the results are, well, check out the snapshot of my daughter sneeking a scribble in my notebook.  This took about ten minutes of post-processing between LR and Portraiture.

As an aside, this was taken with a Canon G11, ISO 100, 1/40@F4.  I hadn't realized the quality of the images from a 13" MacBook screen until I viewed the images on a 24" calibrated monitor.  Another wow!  A future post will review the G11 in-depth.
