Portrait Professional is an image editor for windows, specifically targeted at editing portrait photographs[1]. Rather than using brushes as a traditional image editor does, the user first describes where the face is in the picture[2], then most of the transformations are done through sliders. One of the unique, but controversial[3] features is the ability to automatically reshape the face to fit a model of beauty[4][5]. It was initially released in July 2006.
