APERTY

Aperty is tailor-made for portrait photographers who want breathtaking, natural edits FAST. Its AI-powered retouching tools let you remove blemishes, smooth skin, reshape features, adjust tones, and even apply makeup naturally without having to mask or spend hours editing! I use it religiously in all my portrait photography work, and it’s been a complete game-changer!

Like Luminar Neo, it also works as a standalone software or as a plugin for Lightroom and Photoshop.

P.S. This software is a bit pricier and specific to portrait photography. So get it only if you work a lot with portraits. Either way, I highly recommend that you try it for free to see its amazing features!
