The framing of an image is just as important as the content; you can be in the greatest location with the best model and the most high-tech camera, but it doesn’t mean a thing if you can’t contextualise it within four sides. It’s just a shame that batch-editing photos doesn’t leave much time for to-ing and fro-ing with the perfect crop.
Portrait Crop from Pixnub is one plug-in that can help you save time when it comes to cropping your photos, and gives great results to improve your snaps. It’s compatible with Photoshop and can be found in the
Filters menu; simply click on it and it will automatically find a face in your photo. From there, the editing options are top drawer and it’s easy to work your way around. Save presets if you like, or just go with the default options available.
The plug-in provides us with batch-editing options too, and it’s a powerful feature for tweaking multiple pictures at once. This batch option can still find the faces in your images with precision, whether the subjects are wearing glasses or have hair partially covering their face, and it’s also really simple to choose folders.
Portrait Crop is one of the simpler additions you can find for your editing workflow, but it’s one that really makes your life easier, especially if you have a vast collection of photos that all need a quick tweak at once.
For portrait photographers, this is definitely a piece of software worth investing in, as it’s powerful, yet speedy to work through. Cropping is just as important as taking the actual shot, and Portrait Crop can give it just the kind of refinery that it deserves.
