After I apply ContrastMaster on a portrait photo, the person looks much older. What can I do about it?
You often get an nice effect if you apply ContrastMaster on the portrait of a man or old person. ContrastMaster can emphasize masculinity or old age, which may make the person look more interesting. ContrastMaster can also produce nice effect on smooth skin, e.g. the skin of children or older people with a lot of make-up. However, it is not recommended to increase the contrast of skin area in portraits of young persons or woman without much make-up, otherwise skin imperfection will show more clearly. So you need to selectively apply the ContrastMaster effect to these portrait photos. ContrastMaster offers a Mask tab sheet with a color option that lets you remove the effect from skin areas. You just need to use the color picker tool to select the skin color and move the appropriate slider until the contrast adjustments is removed from the skin areas. For even more control you can also create a selection or layer mask in your image editing application for selectively applying the Contras
