User Manual

(Left) The original image, (Right) A face with Beauty applied
to soften the complexion while retaining fine facial detail
Please note that this plug-in is not only for skin detail, and it’s not only for softening. Once you
isolate the fine detail you want to preserve in a subject, you also have the option of
exaggerating it to create highly textured results. This plug-in is effective for any subject with
textures that need refinement.
TIP: This plug-in is best used within a qualification that isolates the particular feature
you’re trying to smooth. The default settings apply a moderate amount of smoothing
and fine detail recovery that’s appropriate for faces in closeup but will not be
universally appropriate for all situations, so some fine-tuning will always be necessary.
For naturalistic results, this plug-in produces the best results when used in moderation.
Operating Mode
The Beauty plug-in has two operational modes, including an Automatic mode with simpler
operation when your objective is to create a maximally smooth or textured result while still
preserving important details, and an Advanced mode that provides additional controls that let
you preserve fine detail that you want, while smoothing coarse details that you don’t want.
Auto Controls
Automatic mode reveals easy-to-use controls for smoothing or coarsening detail.
 Amount: Lets you choose how much smoothing or coarsening to apply.
 Scale: Lets you reduce or increase the amount of smoothing or coarsening that’s
accomplished with the range of the Amount slider.
