Hi,
Portrait professional is designed to work up to 3/4 view faces. However, you can go beyond that by 'cheating', but you will loose some functionality. To get a fully profile shot to work, mark up the visible side of the face as normal, but mark up the initial points on the other side of the face as if they were visible, i.e. put the obscured eye where it would be in a front on shot, on the other side of the nose. This means you will be able to get through the markup stage. There are two problems with this, but both can be easily worked around. Firstly, the face sculpting controls do not work beyond a certain amount of turning, so you may need to turn them all off (which can be done by pressing the clear button). Secondly, by telling the software that the face extends beyond it's real position, the face selection area may have 'escaped' from the face. Click on the 'Cut Back', brush to reveal the skin area, and use the brush to remove any blue that has gone beyond the edge of the face.
Hope that helps. Let me know if you want any more tips.
