This section is designed to create an even, smooth skin surface without losing too much natural detail.

  • Skin Smoothing: Smooths the overall skin texture by reducing the appearance of fine lines, pores, and other unevenness. A higher value creates a smoother effect but can make the skin appear overly processed if pushed too far. A lower setting keeps more texture intact for a natural look.

  • Details: Controls how much fine detail, like pores or small facial lines, is preserved during skin smoothing. Increasing Details retains more texture while lowering it softens the skin for a polished appearance.

Face Skin Color Correction Section

This section helps balance skin tones and correct color imperfections for an even and natural complexion.

  • Face Skin Color Correction: Adjusts uneven skin tones, helping to eliminate unwanted color casts or patchiness in the face. This slider ensures that the skin tone appears consistent across the portrait, making it look smoother and more even.

  • Dark Circle Removal: Targets and reduces dark circles under the eyes, lightening these areas for a fresher, more rested appearance. Increasing this value makes dark areas under the eyes less prominent without affecting other facial features.

Face Brighten Section

This section focuses on enhancing the brightness and shine of the face, ensuring a radiant, well-balanced appearance.

  • Face Brighten: Lightens the face, bringing a natural glow to key areas such as the forehead, cheeks, and chin. This effect makes the face stand out, especially in underexposed images or poor lighting conditions.

  • Shine Removal: Reduces unwanted shine caused by oily skin or harsh lighting, particularly in the T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin). Increasing this slider mutes shiny areas, giving the skin a more matte, balanced appearance.

For natural-looking portraits, apply Blemish Removal and Skin Smoothing sparingly, ensuring you maintain texture and detail in important areas like the eyes and lips. Use Face Skin Color Correction to even out skin tones, and rely on Dark Circle Removal for a refreshed look. Adjust Face Brighten to bring life to the portrait, but keep Shine Removal subtle to avoid a flat or overly matte appearance.
