Imagenomic Portraiture is a Photoshop/Lightroom/NIK-compatible plugin that automates skin retouching by smoothing skin tones while preserving detail and texture. Build 3037 of the 303 series is a minor/maintenance build (bugfixes and stability) for that release line.
By 2018, when Build 3037 was circulating, the modern retoucher had three choices for skin: (1) manual dodging and burning via frequency separation, (2) generic third-party beauty apps, or (3) Portraiture. Frequency separation, while powerful, can take five to ten minutes per image and requires advanced Photoshop skills. Portraiture reduces that to a matter of seconds.
Standard blurring algorithms destroy textures uniformly. Build 3037 utilizes a multi-scale smoothing engine that categorizes image details into three distinct frequencies:
A robust set of built-in presets (e.g., Fine, Medium, Large) designed for different skin types and resolutions. How to Use Portraiture 3037 in Your Workflow

This granular approach means you don't have to settle for a one-size-fits-all effect. A bride’s close-up portrait might require heavy smoothing on the large scale while preserving the fine pores of her skin. A full-body outdoor shot might only need light smoothing on the medium setting. The ability to adjust these three parameters independently is what elevates Portraiture from a simple "beauty filter" into a professional retouching tool.
Build 3037 is part of that legacy. According to available records, was released around August 1, 2018 . This places it as a mature, stable point release after the initial launch of Portraiture 3, incorporating user feedback and minor optimizations. It was available for both Windows and macOS and was designed primarily as a plugin for Adobe Photoshop, with additional support for Adobe Photoshop Lightroom.

Modifies overall structural shadows and highlights across the face. 4. Built-in Enhancement Controls
: Features an auto-masking tool that recognizes human skin tones accurately to apply adjustments selectively.
The intelligence of the mask is one of the main reasons Portraiture has remained so popular. The auto-mask reads the image and determines which areas are skin and which are background or clothing. This prevents unintentional softening on hair, clothing, or texture you want to keep. It even detects areas like eyebrows, eyelashes, and lips, leaving them untouched so that the smoothing is isolated exclusively to the skin while preserving sharpness in the most critical facial features.
