New review

A new review of the Imagenomic plugin for photoshop portraiture has been uploaded, here is a brief snippet:

"As soon as I had downloaded and activated the plug-in I opened a quick image I had taken a while ago, and had an initial ‘play’. In a few seconds I had a smooth skinned evenly toned portrait. Ok it wasn’t perfect but then I used presets and just hoped (like many men of this world I don’t believe in reading the manual first!), it wasn’t far off perfect though, so like many a wise man I decided perhaps I should learn how to work this thing before giving a real review. Well fortunately Imagenomic don’t leave you hanging their website is full of tutorials both written and in video, and their forums have plenty of users with the ability to help."
