			<description><![CDATA[Hi folks, I'll post here all my suggestions together that I felt that would be cool to have in future versions while using this amazing Portrait Professional Studio 9.

1) Changing sliders values:
I'm not sure if it was already requested, but when I click on the slider value to type a new value, I'd like to request to the developers to take out the actual 'mouse out/cursor out' function to hide the input field to change slider values. I mean, I use tablet, so every time I take the pen out the input field to type the value, it hides the input field. IMHO, the input field with the up/down arrows should hide only after I type the value+enter. By using tablet and pen, it's impossible to change it

2) coming soon...]]></description>

I notice that the eye controls have a left and right control for shaping the eyes seperately, but I can't find how to widen the eyes seperately.  I almost always need to either widen or narrow one eye or the other on a portrait..but I can only find a slider here that does them both at the same time...am I missing something?]]></description>

     However, I choose not to use Windows Explorer and use either Powerdesk Pro or Explorer Plus instead, which are far better file managers (IMHO).  In either of those programmes some graphic file formats, when right clicked, PP doesn't show up in the Context Send To Menu.

     Which graphic file formats are NOT supported by Portrait Professional ?]]></description>

			<title>REQ: Add &quot;authentic smile&quot; feature</title>

			<description><![CDATA[THE PROBLEM: Everyone knows the "fake smile" people put on in pictures. Humans are pretty good at detecting when a smile is fake. There are microexpressions around the eyes that move when someone is happy, and they don't move when they are just "showing teeth." Real smiles makes the picture connect and make the viewer happy. Fake smiles are off putting and feel stages. 

SUGGESTION: Add a slider to enhance the "real-ness" of a smile. Since PP is already sculpting the face, I don't see why it couldn't adjust the eyebrows and muscles near the eyes to enhance the believability of a smile. One might even patent this I say as I know of no other software that does it.

Info about what makes a smile real can be found here: 

From Tonya Reiman "A real smile shows in the zygomaticus muscles which pulls the corners of the mouth upward. The muscles surrounding the eyes, orbicularis oculi, begin to squint which causes crows feet to occur at the edges. Also, the eyebrows and the skin between the upper eyelid and the eyebrow come down very slightly. A genuine smile is usually more symmetrical than a fake smile and does not last as long.

A fake smile uses the risorius mucles which pull the lips horizontally apart. The zygomaticus muscles are only used a little bit, to pull the corners of the mouth up slightly. A genuine smile elicits a sense of well-being and enjoyment in the viewer. A fake smile won't produce the same response" (from http://tonyareiman.com/articles/Is_That_...al_or_Fake)

			<description><![CDATA[Bought V8 two weeks ago , now on V9.
a) I have a problem with the eyes of the subjects looking unrealistic. i.e the eyeball is distinctively round.  the outer circle looks like it has been drawn .  

b) In the new V9 the Chin marker moves only up and down . V8 moved side ways too.

c) Ocasionally the save option does not give you the option to "save as" , instead you can only save at the previous location with same file name. I have yet to find out why the "save as" does not not always come up as an option.
