Why would anyone think of using anything besides Perfect365! http://perfect365.arcsoft.com/

and best of all - they've made the same app for Windows, IOS, and Andriod... I've used the software for about 6 months on an iPhone 5s and now on Moto X and am pleasantly surprised to find it available on the Windows Store also... Sorry to burst your bubble Beauty Guide - however, you could learn from the trend I'm sharing!

This is really cool! I installed it as an add-on to Photoshop and am probably going to be using it quite a bit!

This program differs only slightly from there previous offerings. I would never pay $65 for a program so limited. I downloaded and installed, without issue to Win 7. I would like to see more "pro" settings. This program is good for what it is but don't expect more.

http://tintguide.com/freeware.html:
Free versions of the software have not limitations of the trial versions of the programs and allow to save the processed photos in the standard formats. In comparison with the full versions of the programs, the free versions have limited tool set.

Hi, was anyone (ever:) able to find DIFFERENCES between Full (paid) versions and Lite (free) versions of Beauty Guide and other Products of this Company??
On their busy and confusing Website I can find NO Comparison Tables, but instead a 'piece' about Limitations, which goes like this:

'Limitations of the trial versions - save processed image in the special TPI format

The trial versions allows you to save processed image in the special TPI format.

After purchasing the software, you will be able to open your TPI images in the full registered version and save them in JPG, TIFF, PNG, and BMP formats.

Free versions of the programs can save files in the standard formats, but don't open TPI files'


Clear, or clear as mud:)? Unless one can see what Full version can do that Trial, or Lite cannot, and I don't mean saving Formats alone (TPI v Standard Formats), so question remains - Why would anyone go for Trial, saving their pics in some 'special' TPI format, when they can use Lite for free saving processed photos in standard way?? Please Developer, make it less confusing, and I apologize in advance if I missed such 'Tables' and they do exist!

Beauty Guide doesn't provide application of automatic Makeup (like Perfect365), it's all about manual corrections, but can be useful on both colour and b&w portraits and fun.

Oh Lord knows my girl is goin to love this! Thanks a lot GOTD.

Btw she isn't ugly or anything but a little touch-up has done no harm to anybody! Now, to break this news to her. "Honey I have a new software for you, which will make you look better." Guys, if you find me dead or I don't post anytime soon over here, my lady killed me!!!

Hello!!!! This is giving me fits of laughter :D I have no idea why :D It might be for the simple reason that I never knew such a software existed! Actually it does make sense. All those women on those Playboy's n Maxim's look exceptionally beautiful, now I know why :D The ladies are having a jolly good time I guess :)

Thanks Gaotd. You keep the men and the women happy here!! :D

This is good software. Works as advertised. Thanks GotD!

Installed on Windows 8.1. Seemed to install fine but after install cannot find any icon to open the program and cannot even find the program by a search though GAOTD says it is activated. It does not show up in my program list as well, though it seemed to go through the install on Windows process. What is going on?

Listen, at my age and the way I look, I need software that would make me look better … AND… this software is THAT good it can perform a miracle. :)

So, I’ll keep. But don’t let me stand in the way of you others, I mean, you might look sad with lipstick on… I can’t really say. :)

Keep.

At the local store you can get some whiskey/beer and look like this:

BTW the other person should drink the beer/whiskey . . :-)

Installed and registered without any problems, it opens up with a small window with examples to guide you in its use.
This company and Two Pilots (established 1991) with whom they seem to be connected produce some of the most original and sophisticated programs around.
They have always been expensive for the simple reason that it takes a lot of development produce software of this originality and quality, so different than the video rotator of a few days ago which must've taken all of and afternoon to develop.

As a program developer I always download their programs, I love to watch the way they function so naturally I will download today's and enjoy playing with it.

Beauty Guide claims to combine all the tools of Tint Guide’s Cosmetic Guide and Makeup Guide, both offered earlier here. It means it can (virtually only, unfortunately…):
“Help you to retouch skin, smooth wrinkles, reduce swelling and eye puffiness, accentuate the eyes, delete birthmarks and blemishes, perform rhinoplasty, and bleach teeth. Apply lipstick, rouge, eye shadow, and powder; line eyelids; and change eye color.”
As I don’t need such a heavy renovation, I haven’t tested all these possibilities. See for yourself and don’t forget that this giveaway, like all Tint Guide graphics softs, includes an .8bf filter in the program folder (in Program Files) which can be copied and pasted into the plugin folder of your favorite Photoshop compatible soft.

We've seen Make-Up Guide and Cosmetic Guide from the same company and this is basically more of the same for $20 more. They're decent programs - fun to play with and they can improve a picture when used correctly, but they're far from perfect. The tutorials are very helpful and some tools can be used on pictures other than portraits, such as landscapes. For the asking price, I'd expect more professional, or at least more natural looking, results. Definitely worth a free trial, but I wouldn't spend this much money on it.

Listen, at my age and the way I look, ANY software that would make me look better would be utterly amazing... BUT.... no software is THAT good unless it can perform a miracle. :)

So, I'll pass. But don't let me stand in the way of you others, I mean, Karl might look good with lipstick on... I can't really say. :)

Pass.

I came to know about this program here in GAOTD as suggested alternative program during giveaway of a Photo-Retoucher software.
But I have used Photo Montage Guide - Photomontage Software from TintGuide which is a
Combination of tools from Image Resize GuideandPicture Cutout Guideand includes demo samples from both the programs. Photo Montage Guide really impressed me. So I can hope this program from Tint-Guide will be as impressive as their other Programs.

Installed and registered without problems on a Win 8.1.2 Pro 64 bit system.

We had on June 27, 2014 a Cosmetic Guide 2.2.1 - that was not agood name. it reminds on cosmetic surgery. On November 23, 2013
MakeUp Guide 1.4.2. Also not a perfect name. But beauty?! Finally!

A (Russian) company without name and address.

Cosmetic Guide 1.0 was presented on January 16th 2009. This software has a long history – for me a good sign. The company is on the market since 2008.

THE PURPOSE OF THE PROGRAM
Beauty Guide is a program that allows you to apply makeup and correct cosmetic defects directly on your photos. With this program you'll be able to make your pictures look even better than they do!

A well made introduction shows the use of "powder", remove blemishes, soften skin, change the eye color and more.

This is basically nothing else than a (simple) picture manipulation tool, where colors and pencils are adapted to "human" colors.

If you'll find your girlfriend, wife or any other person ugly: here you can make a superstar out of her. It is the same way as superstars will be "beautified" for the magazine cover (photoshopped)

Download it, install it and show, how nice looking can be your partner.

I use my old picture program for that. Uninstalled via reboot.
