Face AI takes the hard work out of portrait editing

Apply advanced editing effects to your portraits with ease

1 Templates and editing

Choose an image to edit, then select a Template to add an effect to the image. Here we chose High Key to lighten the backlit portrait and create soft pastel hues. Click on the Edit tab and apply any manual editing you might need. This portrait was lightened and warmed up.

2 Face AI – face and eyes

In Portrait, click Face AI. The top two sliders control face lighting and slimness, and were set to 11 and 15. Under Eyes, the colour was changed from brown to green, with Iris Visibility reduced to 15 for a natural result. Enlarge Eyes was set to 30 and Eye Whitening to 20.

3 Face AI – mouth

In the Mouth section, you can make adjustments to lip colour and lightness, as well as whiten teeth (not necessary here). Lips Saturation was set to 30, Lips Redness was set to 50, and Lips Darkening was set to 20. This increased the colour of the lips and darkened them, but all the while maintaining a completely natural look.

4 Smooth Skin

Click on Skin AI to expand the controls. The Amount slider controls the overall smoothing, Shine Removal makes the skin appear more matt, and Skin Defects Removal AI removes light blemishes. More prominent blemishes will need to be removed using the Clone Tool, which can be found in Luminar AI’s Professional section.

5 Body AI

Body AI can recognise human bodies in different poses and positions, and provides control over body shape and waist size. These can be increased or decreased as desired, although subtlety is usually the best approach. The Abdomen slider, which is used to control stomach size, will only work when a stomach is detected. In this shot one wasn’t, so we just increased Shape to 10 to thin the model slightly.

Luminar AI is constantly being updated, so the user interface may change with future updates.
