Now you can fix bad teeth, subdue reflections in glasses and sharpen up blurry faces, all with the power of artificial intelligence

They do say that no-one is perfect, but then everyone wants to be, at least in photos, and PortraitPro 24 aims to get you just that little bit closer, with new generative AI tools for enhancing specific facial features.
The Mouth Inpainting & Teeth Replacer option can refine mouth shapes and textures, fix issues like chapped lips and – remarkably – straighten and enhance your subject's teeth.
The Glasses Reflection Remover looks especially interesting. If your subject is wearing spectacles, then finding an angle that eliminates reflections can be difficult, so you'll probably be glad of an AI software toll that can do it for you.
The Face Recovery tool looks equally useful, using AI to restore sharp features to blurry faces. This can often be an issue in group shots where it's not possible to get every face in focus at the same time, or people in the background want a photo for themselves.
There are workflow improvements in PortraitPro 24 too, including a streamlines preset search tool, the ability to share presets and the ability to quickly switch between faces in group shots.
Anthropics, PortraitPro 24's publisher, has also added its most accurate gender and age detectors yet, so that portrait enhancements can be matched to the subject.
Some features are for the Studio Max Edition only, such as the ability to apply multiple presets to try out different looks, and an advanced batch control mode with optimized memory and CPU management.
