Portraiture only cleans the image but it won’t do any further settings like smoothing and manually retouching.

-Imagenomic Noiseware

Noiseware is the second plugin, where you can use it to smooth the body or the face, but if you have already cut the photo from the background it will not be so nice to use any of the Imagenomic plugins to clean them. Because it is creating a line just like outflow.

-Imagenomic Realgrain

If adjusting the face or body with adjustments tab takes too much time, you can simply use it to adjust the photo. The very good thing about Realgrain which I love so much is the effects because it has more than 100 types of effects. you can set the color of the photo according to the time of the day or photo in studio.
