HOW TO Use AI tools to refine your portraits

Blur background

In the Catalog panel, click the Add Photos button. Browse to select a portrait. Click the Edit icon. In the Tools panel scroll down and click on Portrait Bokeh AI. Drag the Amount slider to 100 to blur the background.

The eyes have it

Open the Face panel. Set Iris Visibility to 100. We’ve set the Iris option to Green so the eyes match the color of our subject’s green top. Set Iris Flare to 74 to add specular reflections that help to bring the eyes to life.

Erase blemishes

To create even smoother skin, toggle open the Erase panel. Choose a small Brush Radius such as 10. Spray over any “crow’s feet” around the eyes and any remaining spots and blemishes. Click Erase.

Fine–tune edges

Go to Brush Control. If there are any bits of background that still need to be blurred click Defocus. A red mask indicates the sharp areas. Spray to remove any traces of the red mask that overlap the background.

Luscious lips

Scroll down to the Mouth section. Here you can drag sliders to give the lips more impact by increasing the value of the Lips Saturation and Lips Redness. Set Teeth Whitening to 60 for a winning, brighter smile.

Before and after

Below the image is an eye– shaped icon. Click and hold it to see the unedited version of the photo. Unclick to see the edited version. We have created a composite screenshot so you can see both at once.

Tweak background

Open the Background section. You can drag the Depth Correction slider to the left to blur closer objects, such as the fence. Tweak the Edges Correction slider for a better blend between blurred and sharp pixels.

Perfect skin

A burst of flash has bounced off our subject, creating shiny hotspots. In the Skin section, set the Amount to 50 and drag Shine Removal to 100. By ticking Skin Effects Removal, we can remove some spots and blemishes.

Revisit edits

Any changes that you’ve made to the portrait are non–destructive. You can fine–tune or remove adjustments by clicking on the Edits panel. Here we’ve toggled open the Face section and changed the eye color to Honey.
