Portrait Light

Pro

Depth from light, not from reshaping

Portrait Light reads the face in 3D and the direction of the light already in your photo, then adds soft highlights on the cheekbones, nose and forehead and gentle shadow along the contours — the volume a retoucher builds with dodge & burn. Nothing is moved or reshaped, and faces already lit hard get less, so it never looks overdone.
