Choose a portrait photo

Start with a clear image that makes the face easy to see and the result easy to judge.

1. Use a photo you may edit

Choose your own image or get permission from the people involved. Keep the original and consider whether they would be comfortable with the result.

2. Look for a clear face

Choose a photo where the face is visible. Avoid a heavily obscured subject when you want to compare facial details across different looks.

3. Try a different expression

Compare another photo or expression if the first image does not suit the treatment you want. The app offers different artistic directions, and results vary.

4. Review before sharing

Check faces, hair and edges in the filtered portrait. Keep the edited version separate from the original and share with appropriate context.

Keep your edit focused

A photo gives you a starting point, not a guaranteed result. Try another source image or look when important details do not come through.
