Imagenomic’s Portraiture 3 occupies a distinctive place in the intersection of computational photography and professional retouching workflows. Released as a plugin for major host applications (Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, and others), Portraiture automates and streamlines skin retouching by combining selective smoothing with edge preservation and tonal/texture control. The technology promises speed and consistency for portrait photographers, while also provoking deeper questions about authorship, aesthetics, and the ethics of mediated appearance.
