Similar to matte effects, film effects also work well with a lot of photos, including portraits. Matte effects work well with a wide variety of types of photos, like landscapes and still life, but they tend to be great for portraits. Our collection of matte presets includes 40 one-click presets for instant matte effects, as well as more than 50 stackable workflow presets that give you the ultimate flexibility to create your own customized matte effects in just a few clicks. The combination of develop presets and adjustment brushes makes Portrait Power a great place to start if you are looking for presets that will help with processing your portraits. Most of the develop presets use subtly soft effects that tend to create very pleasing portraits. The pack includes 40 develop presets for one-click effects, as well as 45 adjustment brushes for things like smoothing skin, whitening teeth, enhancing eyes, and more.
