The Detail tool in Aperty helps enhance or soften details in your portrait, focusing on various levels of detail and texture.

Here’s how each slider functions:

  • Small Details: Targets fine features such as pores, hair strands, and small skin textures. Increasing this brings out sharper, finer details while lowering it smooths subtle imperfections.

  • Medium Details: Enhances or reduces mid-sized features like facial contours, wrinkles, or larger skin textures. Boosting this slider sharpens the overall structure of the face while decreasing it softens these areas.

  • Large Details: Focuses on the broader features of the face, such as jawlines, cheekbones, and general facial shapes. Adjusting this can emphasize the form or smooth larger structures.

  • Details Protection: Helps maintain smoothness in areas where detail enhancement is too strong. Increasing this protects sensitive areas (like soft skin tones) from becoming overly sharp or harsh.

  • Preserve Textures: This slider ensures that natural textures are maintained while adjusting details. It prevents over-smoothing or unnatural plastic-like skin effects, keeping skin realistic and textured.

When sharpening portraits, focus on enhancing the eyes and lips first; these areas benefit most from added clarity. Adjust the Preserve Textures slider carefully to avoid overly harsh skin while keeping the natural texture intact.
