Portrait retouching

Automatically detects the faces and bodies in a photo so you can retouch them with a single slider. Clean up blemishes, dark circles and shine while keeping the skin texture, and finish everything in one place — from clear eyes and white teeth to subtle lipstick and blush, a slimmer jawline and a balanced figure. You can also set many values at once with the Natural · Radiant · Profile photo buttons. All analysis and retouching happen on this PC, and your photos are never sent anywhere.

This is a beta feature

Detection results can vary from photo to photo, so after retouching, always check the result with Compare original or Split view.

When to use it

Profile, ID and résumé photos — When you just want to neatly clean up blemishes, shine and shadows under the eyes. One click on Profile photo sets the basic values all at once.
Light makeup on a bare-faced photo — When you want to add color to the lips, a touch of blush to the cheeks, and more defined eyes.
Big smiles — When the teeth came out yellowish or the whites of the eyes look dull.
Full-body photos — When clothing or posture makes the body look wider than it is, or you want the legs to look a little longer.
Photos of two people or groups — When you want to retouch only one person, or each person differently.
Men — When you want to reduce only shine and blemishes while keeping stubble and skin texture.

Where to find it

The whole Portrait tab after one face was found and Natural was clicked — The people in the sample photos were generated by AI.

It's the Portrait tab, the last tab in the right panel of the editor (tab order: Presets · Edit · Crop · Masks · Portrait).

From top to bottom, the Portrait tab contains:

The title Portrait retouching with a Beta label, and a one-line hint
The detection result message (for example, "Found 1 face.") — a Analyzing photo progress bar while analyzing
(When available to download) A notice about the extra model — see Extra model below
(When there are two or more people) All faces · Face 1 · Face 2 … buttons
4 quick retouch buttons: Natural · Radiant · Profile photo · Reset
Find faces again · Reset positions
5 panels: SKIN · BODY · EYES · MOUTH · MAKEUP · FACE SHAPE

Click a panel title to collapse or expand that panel. For panels further down, such as Makeup, scroll down.

When you first open it — detecting faces and bodies

When you open the Portrait tab, the photo is analyzed automatically. You don't need to do anything.

A progress bar such as Analyzing photo · 35% appears in the panel, and the result message shows "Finding faces on this device…".
When the analysis finishes, the result message changes to a highlight color and tells you how many people were found.
When a face is detected, the SKIN · EYES · MOUTH · MAKEUP · FACE SHAPE panels become active; when a body is detected, the sliders in the BODY panel become active.

The results of an analysis are saved, so when you open the same photo again they appear right away without waiting.

Result message	Meaning	What to do
Found 1 face.	One person was detected.	Go ahead and retouch.
Found 2 faces. Select a face above, or apply to all faces together.	Several people were detected.	See Choosing a person below.
This is a side view, so the eye, nose and mouth positions weren't found. Facial skin is retouched with the skin sliders in the Body section below.	The face is turned far to the side.	Retouch the facial skin too with Body brightness · Body smoothing in the BODY panel.
No face was found, but body skin was.	Body skin such as the arms or neck was detected.	Use the skin sliders in the BODY panel.
No face found.	No person was detected in this photo.	Try clicking Find faces again. If that doesn't work, you can retouch just that area with Auto select in Masks.
Face detection cancelled.	You cancelled during analysis or moved to another photo.	Click Find faces again.

Find faces again · Reset positions

Button	What it does
Find faces again	Analyzes the photo again to find faces that were missed. Values and makeup colors applied to faces already detected are kept. While analyzing, the button changes to Cancel analysis; click it to stop the analysis.
Reset positions	Detects the positions of the face (eyes, nose, mouth) and body from scratch. The adjustment values you set with the sliders are kept. Use it after installing the extra model, when you want to apply the new method to photos that already have body adjustments.

Quick retouch — Natural · Radiant · Profile photo · Reset

One button sets the skin, eye, mouth and face shape sliders to suitable values all at once. After clicking a button, adjust the sliders a little to suit the photo.

Button	Look
Natural	Barely noticeable retouching. Lightly cleans up blemishes, pores, uneven patches and shadows under the eyes, and slightly brightens the whites of the eyes and the teeth.
Radiant	Clear, bright skin. Smooths the skin more, reduces shine and brightens the skin tone by one step. Also brings out the irises and lip color a little.
Profile photo	A neat, crisp impression. Removes the most blemishes, cleans up shine and smile lines, defines the eyebrows and slims the face slightly.
Reset	Returns everything for the selected face — skin, eyes, mouth and face shape, and even makeup — to 0 (makeup colors return to their defaults too).

Values set by the three buttons (the numbers shown on screen):

Slider	Natural	Radiant	Profile photo
Smooth	35	55	45
Texture	0	0	10
Reduce pores	30	50	45
Remove blemishes	50	70	80
Even skin tone	30	50	40
Reduce shine	0	40	50
Skin brightness	0	30	0
Dark circles	30	50	45
Smile lines	0	0	30
Whiten eyes	20	35	30
Sharpen iris	0	30	35
Define brows	0	0	20
Whiten teeth	20	35	30
Lip color	0	15	0
Slim face	0	0	15

Sliders not in the table (Freckles · spots · Neck lines · Eye size · Narrow nose · Mouth size) are set to 0 by all three buttons.

Makeup is kept. Values in the Makeup panel, such as lipstick and blush, don't change when you click any of the three buttons. The only button that also clears makeup is Reset.
The Body panel doesn't change. All four buttons change only face-related values.
They apply only to the selected face. With several people, they apply to the currently selected face; if you've selected All faces, the same values are applied to every face.
If you adjusted sliders yourself before clicking a button, those values are replaced with the button's values. Press Ctrl+Z once to return to the state before the click.

Choosing a person (several people)

When two or more people are detected, you can choose who to retouch. Up to 8 faces are detected per photo.

Markers on the photo — Each detected face gets a round outline, with a number (1, 2, …) above it and a BODY marker below it. The currently selected face gets a thicker white outline. The marker of the person whose body you're currently retouching changes to a blue BODY ON.
How to select — Click a face outline or a BODY marker on the photo, or click the Face 1 · Face 2 … buttons in the panel. Selecting a face also switches body retouching to the same person.
All faces — Face-related sliders (skin, eyes, mouth, makeup, face shape) and the quick retouch buttons apply to all faces together. The numbers shown on the sliders are then Face 1's values, and moving a slider sets that value for every face to the same value. The person whose body is retouched doesn't change.
Saved separately for each person — Face values and body shape values are saved separately for each person. If you select someone else and come back, that person's values are still there. However, Body brightness · Body smoothing apply to the body skin in the whole photo, so they apply to everyone together.
The top of the Body panel shows whose body you're currently retouching, for example "Body edits apply to: the person with face 2 — select a face above to switch to that person's body…".
The first time you select a person, there's a short analysis to detect that person's body. Select another person after the analysis finishes (switching during it shows "Can't switch people while faces are being found. Select again when it's done.").
The markers on the photo are hidden while Compare original is on.

Sliders and buttons

All sliders default to 0. There are two kinds of sliders.

0–100 — Sliders that move in one direction only (for example, Remove blemishes). At 0 the effect is off, and the higher the value, the stronger the effect.
−100–100 — Sliders centered on 0 (for example, Skin brightness). Moving right (+) and left (−) changes things in opposite directions.

Double-click a slider or its name to return it to 0; dragging the name left and right also changes the value (hold Shift while dragging to fine-tune). You can also click the number to type a value. These common actions are explained in detail in Editor overview.

Skin panel

Applies to the skin inside the face outline and up the forehead (excluding hair). It avoids the eyes, eyebrows and lips. It keeps the skin texture (very fine detail such as pores), so the face doesn't turn smeary and plastic-looking even at high values.

Name	Range	What it does
Smooth	0–100	Smooths out unevenness slightly larger than skin texture, such as blotches and fine lines. Very fine texture is reduced only a little, keeping the skin's texture.
Texture	−100–100	The + side makes skin texture crisper (good for men and close-ups); the − side smooths the texture further.
Reduce pores	0–100	Softens only very fine texture, such as the pores on the nose or cheeks. It's processed so that texture stays alive even at the original size.
Remove blemishes	0–100	Fills small spots that are darker or redder than their surroundings (pimples, blemishes) with the surrounding skin.
Freckles · spots	0–100	Finds and removes only small, round brown spots. Nostrils, wrinkles, shadows and hair are left alone.
Even skin tone	0–100	Evens out patches of different skin color, such as flushed cheeks, toward the face's average skin color.
Reduce shine	0–100	Evenly fills areas on the forehead, nose and cheeks that turned white from reflected light with the skin color right next to the reflection. A little skin texture and soft glow are kept.
Skin brightness	−100–100	Makes only the facial skin brighter (+) or darker (−). The background and clothing stay as they are.
Dark circles	0–100	Brightens the dark area below the lower eyelids toward the color of the cheeks. Areas under the eyes that are already bright aren't changed.
Smile lines	0–100	Fills the lines that run from the sides of the nose down to the corners of the mouth. Removing them completely makes the face look flat, so even at 100 it fills only about 70% of the crease and keeps the shadow at the corners of the mouth.
Neck lines	0–100	Fills horizontal lines on the front and sides of the neck. It avoids hair, ears, collars and necklaces. It takes a lot of computation, so Applying… appears on the photo briefly.

The 11 sliders of the Skin panel after clicking Natural — The people in the sample photos were generated by AI.

Body panel

Retouches skin outside the face (arms, neck, shoulders) and the shape of the body. Sliders are enabled to match what was detected in the photo, and the others are dimmed.

Name	Range	What it does
Body brightness	−100–100	Makes skin outside the face, such as the arms, neck and shoulders, brighter (+) or darker (−). This also includes the skin of side-view faces whose position wasn't detected.
Body smoothing	0–100	Softly cleans up small blotches and fine hair texture on the body's skin. Large-scale shading, such as the contours of muscle and bone, stays as it is.
Lower trapezius	0–100	Lowers the line running from the neck to the shoulders (the muscle between them), so the neckline looks longer and the shoulder line smoother. The area right next to the neck stays put; the part halfway between the neck and the end of the shoulder drops the most.
Bust	−100–100	Naturally reduces (−) or adds (+) volume in the bust area. Applies to photos taken from the front or side.
Bust lift	−100–100	Neatly lifts the height of the bust area (+) or lowers it naturally (−). Appears only in photos where the body was detected with the extra model.
Body width	−100–100	Makes the torso, arms and legs slimmer (−) or fuller (+) all at once. Appears only in photos where the body was detected with the extra model.
Waist width	−100–100	Makes the waist slimmer (−) or wider (+).
Arm width	−100–100	Makes the upper and lower arms slimmer (−) or wider (+). The change fades gradually toward the shoulders and wrists so it blends naturally.
Leg width	−100–100	Makes the thighs and calves slimmer (−) or wider (+).
Shoulder width	−100–100	Makes the shoulders narrower (−) or broader (+).
Hips	−100–100	Makes the side lines of the pelvis and hips narrower (−) or wider (+).
Leg length	0–100	Stretches the area from below the pelvis to the ankles vertically (up to about 12% at 100). The floor below the feet is reduced by the same amount, so the photo size stays the same. Photos with little space below the feet are stretched less.
Neck length	−100–100	Stretches or shortens the area between the chin and the shoulders to make the neck longer (+) or shorter (−). The head moves up or down accordingly.
Head size	−100–100	Makes the head smaller (−) or larger (+) relative to the body.

When sliders become active

Slider	Active when
Body brightness · Body smoothing	Skin outside the face (arms, neck, shoulders and so on) is detected
Lower trapezius · Bust	The shoulder line is detected
Waist · arm · leg width, Shoulder width, Hips, Leg length, Neck length, Head size	The body's pose (shoulder, elbow, pelvis and knee positions) is detected — upper-body or full-body photos
Bust lift · Body width	The extra model is installed and that person's body was detected with it (only then do these sliders appear)

The bottom of the Body panel shows one line about the current photo. If it says "Skin retouching applies to skin outside the face, such as arms, neck and shoulders (including side-view faces whose features weren't found). Body shaping warps only the area around the body; the background doesn't bend.", you can use all the sliders; if it says "Body shaping isn't available because the shoulders weren't found.", you can use only the skin sliders.

The background doesn't bend. Body shape sliders move only the area around the body's outline, and the effect fades gradually to 0 toward the outside, keeping straight lines such as walls or door frames behind the person intact. However, Leg length stretches the part below the pelvis across the full width, so the background at the same height is stretched too.
Angled poses — When the body is turned to one side, the far side is changed less so it doesn't look odd. With the extra model, body shaping follows the body's actual direction even when it's at an angle or seen from behind, and areas where an arm covers the front of the body are told apart so outlines connect smoothly.

Eyes · Mouth panel

The small icon in front of each slider name (eye whites, iris, eyebrows, teeth, lips) shows at a glance which part it affects.

Name	Range	What it does
Whiten eyes	0–100	Brightens the whites of the eyes slightly and removes yellow or red tints. The irises and eyelashes stay as they are.
Sharpen iris	0–100	Makes the iris pattern crisper, deepens its color a little and brightens it slightly.
Define brows	0–100	Makes the eyebrow hairs crisper and a little darker.
Whiten teeth	0–100	Whitens only the bright, yellowish areas inside the mouth (the teeth). It avoids the red of the lips and gums.
Lip color	−100–100	Makes the natural color of the lips stronger (+) or paler (−). To apply a different color, use Lipstick in the MAKEUP panel.

Makeup panel

Each area has a strength slider + color chips, and for Blush · Eyeshadow · Eyeliner · Contour · Highlighter you can also choose position · width · style with the expand button on the right. Only color is added while the shading and texture of the skin and lips are kept, so it doesn't look painted on even at high strength. The makeup areas follow the 3D shape of the face, so even on a turned face they're applied to fit the shape of the cheeks and eyelids.

Name	Range	What it does	Colors
Lipstick	0–100	Applies lipstick color to the whole lips. Lip lines and gloss are kept.	20
Blush	0–100	Softly tints the cheeks. Depending on the position, it's applied to just the apples of the cheeks, up to the cheekbones, or on past the cheekbones toward the temples.	11
Eyeshadow	0–100	Applies color that's strongest near the lashes and fades toward the eyebrows. The height fits the size of that person's eyelids. The eye itself isn't colored.	15
Eyeliner	0–100	Draws a line along the upper lash line, thin at the inner corner and thicker toward the outer corner. Choose the tail shape with the style.	6
Brows	0–100	Fills in the brows with a pencil or powder color. Gaps between hairs get more color and already dark hairs get less, so the hair texture remains; the front (near the nose) is lighter and the tail darker.	7
Contour	0–100	Darkens the sides of the face (temples to jawline), under the cheekbones and both sides of the nose bridge with warm shadow, making the face look more three-dimensional. It's strongest where the face turns away to the side. In photos with the head turned, the hidden (far) side isn't colored.	—
Highlighter	0–100	Subtly brightens the tops of the cheekbones, the nose bridge, above the upper lip, the center of the forehead and the tip of the chin to add glow.	—

Position · width · style — Click Position · width · Width · blend · Style · thickness at the bottom right of the slider to expand them (they start collapsed).

Area	What you can choose	Default	Description
Blush	Position: Apples · Cheekbones · Side sweep / Width 0–100	Cheekbones · 50	Apples colors only the center of the cheeks that rises when you smile; Cheekbones colors from the cheeks toward the cheekbones; Side sweep continues the color in a long sweep up toward the temples. Raising Width spreads the color wider and softer; lowering it gives a crisper shape.
Eyeshadow	Width · Blend 0–100	50 · 50	Width colors upward from about 30% (0) to 75% (100) of the distance from the lash line to the eyebrow, and sideways 18–33% beyond the outer corner of the eye. Raising Blend spreads the edge widely and fades it upward; lowering it makes the edge crisp.
Eyeliner	Style: Natural · Defined · Winged · Puppy · Lower line	Natural	Natural is a thin line that fills in between the lashes; Defined is a thick line; Winged extends the outer corner up into a long line; Puppy extends the outer corner slightly downward; Lower line adds the outer two-thirds of the lower lash line to Natural.
Eyeliner (thickness · smudge)	Thickness · Smudge 0–100	50 · 50	Thickness is the width of the line; Smudge blurs the edges of the line and surrounds it above and below with a soft shadow, as if a pencil line had been rubbed (it looks less drawn on).
Brows	Thickness 0–100	50	Sets how much wider than the natural brows to fill.
Contour · Highlighter	Width 0–100	50	Raising Width spreads the shadow or glow wider and softer.

Photos that had makeup applied before the October 2026 update keep their old look. Changing the position · width · style for that face redraws it the new way (a notice appears in the expanded area).

Color chips — Click a round chip below the slider to switch to that color. Hover over a chip to see the color's name. If you click a chip while the strength is 0, the strength turns on at 50, so you can start by choosing a color. The selected chip gets an outline, and the icon in front of the slider name also changes to that color.

Area	Available colors (from left; the default is first)
Lipstick	Coral · Rose · Red · Nude · Berry · Orange · Pink · Brick · Cherry Red · Raspberry · Plum Red · Wine · Rose Brown · Dried Rose · Peach Coral · Beige Nude · Mauve Pink · Fuchsia · Deep Red · Cocoa
Blush	Peach · Pink · Coral · Rose · Lavender · Apricot · Baby Pink · Rose Brown · Orange · Mauve · Bronze

Eyeliner	Black · Brown · Gray · Navy · Burgundy · Khaki
Brows	Dark Brown · Brown · Light Brown · Ash Brown · Gray Brown · Gray · Black

Makeup values and colors are saved separately for each face. You can give two people different lipstick colors.
The quick retouch buttons (Natural · Radiant · Profile photo) don't change makeup. Reset returns makeup and colors to their starting state too.

Face Shape panel

Name	Range	What it does
Slim face	−100–100	Pulls the jawline and lower cheeks inward for a slimmer face (+), or pushes them outward for a wider one (−).
Eye size	−100–100	Makes the eyes larger (+) or smaller (−).
Narrow nose	−100–100	Makes the width of the nostrils narrower (+) or wider (−).
Mouth size	−100–100	Makes the mouth larger (+) or smaller (−).

As the note below the Face Shape panel says ("Face shape changes stay within a natural range, and the background doesn't bend."), even at 100 the changes stay within a range where the person is still recognizable.

Extra model

You can separately download an extra model that makes portrait retouching more accurate (about 865 MB, downloaded only once). Even without it, all the basic portrait retouching features are available.

What changes when it's installed

Body shaping follows the body's actual direction even when the body is at an angle or seen from behind.
Areas where an arm covers the front of the body are told apart, so waist and arm outlines connect smoothly.
Body width and Bust lift sliders appear in the BODY panel.

How to download it

If the extra model is available to download when you open the Portrait tab, the "Extra model for portrait retouching" window appears. The window shows the exact file size.
Click Download to start downloading. To download it later, click Later.
Even if you clicked Later, a notice and a Download extra model button stay at the top of the Portrait tab, so you can download it any time.
While downloading, the panel shows the progress, such as "Downloading extra model · 42% (360MB / 865MB)", and you can stop it with Cancel download. You can keep retouching the current way while it downloads.
When the download finishes, the "Extra model installed" window appears. There's nothing else you need to do.

After installing

It's applied right away to the photo you're viewing.
Other photos get it automatically when you open them in the Portrait tab.
Photos that already have body adjustments keep them. To apply the new method to those photos too, click Reset positions on the Portrait tab (adjustment values are kept).

Good to know

The internet is used only to download this model. After installation, all analysis and retouching happen on this PC.
If the connection drops during the download, it retries automatically after a moment and resumes from where it left off. The downloaded file is checked for damage before it's installed.
If the download fails, the message "Couldn't download the extra model: …" and a Try again button appear.
The notice and the window appear when the extra model is available to download. Basic retouching works fully either way.

(The numbers above are suggested starting values. Adjust them to suit the photo and your taste.)

A big smile — teeth and eye whites

On the Portrait tab, expand the EYES · MOUTH panel.
Raise Whiten teeth to 30–50. The lips and gums keep their color, so the teeth don't look like white dentures.
Raise Whiten eyes to about 30, and if the eyes look dull, raise Sharpen iris to 20–30.
Turn on split view with Y and zoom in around the mouth to check.

Only one of two people

When you open the Portrait tab on a photo of two people, "Found 2 faces. …" appears, and each face in the photo gets a number.
Click the face outline of the person you want to retouch (or Face 2 in the panel). The outline becomes thick and white, and the marker below that person changes to a blue BODY ON.
When you move a slider, it applies only to that person. The other person's face stays the same.
