Notice which details define the face

Judge more than the line reduction

Begin with one clear source and a specific, modest retouch request.
Choose a sample or upload a portrait with visible facial detail. Even light and a clear face make comparison easier.

Choose Light touch, Balanced retouch or Soft portrait light. Edit Describe your retouch to name the areas to soften and the details that matter.

Select Generate portrait edit and sign in if prompted. Compare eyes, lips, skin tone, pores and expression with the original before selecting the result.
