I searched the "Feature requests" forum but couldn't find anything regarding auto-detection of facial features.
A lot of products include face auto-detection features, from hardware like cameras and software like Aperture or Picasa to online services like Facebook. The technology certainly has come a long way and already gives amazing results.
Since Portrait Professional is all about making portrait enhancing fast and easy, including such technology would definitely be a great feature and speed up our workflow very effectively. "True" batch processing would be possible, making manually outlining faces only necessary in those (hopefully rare) cases where auto-detection fails.
Maybe such detection technology is already available as a plug-in library, but even if it's not, its development would surely be worth the effort - I for one would happily pay twice as much for a version with this feature. As a professional photographer, not image editor, I'm all for anything that lets me spend more time behind the camera instead of in front of the computer.
Kind regards
