We can clearly see here that face recovery still needs lots of work. The images is quite good and sharp to start with and face recobery just makes a smooth, undetailed, plasticky look out of something that was initially quite good. Really worsening it. It sometimes make wonders. But often, like here, it actually makes it a lot worse.
I’ve seen mixed reviews on the face recovery. Sometimes it seems to be really good. Other times. It smoothes it out too much and as you said it ends up but almost a bit plastic, faces seem really hard to get right generally and I must admit I’m not much of a portrait photographer so I don’t tend to use face recovery a whole lot.
Totally agree, I don’t think it is feature complete yet but certainly on its way, the biggest bonus is the all in one for people who don’t want lots of control,
Very good review! Do you have any experience with DXO Photolab 8?
I must admit I have largely stuck to Lightroom, I’ll take a look and see what I think though!

I prefer using the 3 previous programs because I have more control over the effects.
