Cover Girl AKVIS Noise Buster can be helpful
not only for enhancement of "noisy" images but for improving the quality of snapshots
as well. You can apply it to portraits to smooth the skin of a model.
In professional portrait photography they often use special
softening filters that smooth small wrinkles and mask minor skin
defects.

At first glance the photo seems pretty
good. However, if we increase the scale of the image we can see unevenness of
the skin that spoils the impression from the snapshot.
AKVIS Noise Buster will help us to smooth
the skin and create a "cover-girl" effect.
AKVIS Noise Buster is available as a standalone program or a plug-in. We will use the standalone version.
First we open the image in AKVIS Noise Buster with the  button.
Noise Buster will process the image using
the Automatic Filtering preset from the list of presets. The result is good, but we can increase the value of Microdetail to minimize blurring of the hair.
We are satisfied with the result of filtering in the preview
area and apply it to the whole image with the  button.
Finally, we press the button  to save the image.
Pay attention to the girl's skin, now it is smooth and even!
This photo could be published in a fashion magazine.
