Enhance Retouching Overview

Enhance retouching tool removes blemishes and acne while preserving the natural texture and integrity of the subject’s skin. The goal is to brighten and smooth the portrait without altering the subject’s authentic features.
Enhance Retouching also performs light flyaway‑hair cleanup, reducing minor stray hairs around the hairline and face without over‑smoothing or reshaping the hairstyle.
What stays on the face?
Enhance only removes what should not be on the face (acne, temporary blemishes).
Everything that should be there remains untouched, including:

• Beauty marks

• Freckles

• Birthmarks

• Moles

• Scars

This ensures the final image looks polished but still true to the subject.

Offer retouching as an authentic, natural enhancement for customers who want a quick brightness and smoothness boost.
For a premium “retouching package,” combine:

• Retouching

• Brace Removal

• Teeth Whitening

• Glass Glare Removal

These can be bundled into a custom profile for one‑click processing.

Q: What is the difference between Retouch and Enhanced Retouching?
Retouch

• Light blemish cleanup

• Best for mild acne or small imperfections

Enhanced Retouching

• Designed for severe acne

• Removes blemishes and reduces residual redness

• Preserves beauty marks, freckles, moles, scars, etc.

Q: What is the difference between Full Body Retouching and Full Body Enhance Retouching?
Both follow the same principles as facial retouching but apply to all exposed skin.

• Full Body Retouching → light cleanup

• Full Body Enhance → stronger correction for issues like chest/neck acne or redness (e.g., rosacea on arms)

Q: What does the Glare Removal & Detector profile do?

• Glare Removal (no detector): Removes glare on every image, even if glare is not present.

• Glare Removal + Detector: Automatically identifies images with glare and only applies glare removal to those specific photos.

Q: What does the PSPA with Hat profile do?
This cropping profile adds extra space at the top of the frame, making it ideal for:

• Cap & gown photos

• Subjects with large hairstyles

• Any portrait where additional headroom is needed

Q: Why does Enhanced Retouching include minor stray‑hair cleanup? Can it be turned off?
Minor stray‑hair cleanup is part of the Enhanced Retouching model and cannot be toggled off. It was added based on studio requests to gently clean flyaways around:

• The top of the head

• The hairline

• Stray hairs on the face

It does not reshape hairstyles or make dramatic changes.
If a studio prefers no hair cleanup, use Standard Retouching instead.
