Quite possibly not. I've not used plugins very often and generally tend to keep editing to a minimum and almost always within a single app, either Lightroom or Affinity. My hope is that Portrait Pro can speed things up and perhaps improve output quality but so far I'm not impressed.
I'm playing with different workflows. The best quality thus far does seem to be to have LR produce a 16 bit sRGB TIFF to pass to PP. PP does weird things with ProPhotoRGB and really struggles with NEF RAW. Still playing though.
BTW, I did play with OpenDirectly a bit. Cool app. Wish it could pass a post edit RAW though.
PP tends to leave a much more unnatural or plastic look. Their defaults are quite horrid (though cool what they do though). I finally figured out that the best option is to tell it to do NOTHING and then to use a very tiny bit of correction here and there. I've not yet been able to produce results that are the same or better as I do manually with LR or Affinity (with an occasional dip in to NIK for a very tiny bit of skin softening to finish things off).
