Natural Portrait Retouch
Retouch a headshot the way a good editor would — even skin and clean stray hairs, but the person still looks like themselves.
The prompt
Retouch the attached portrait for professional use. Even out skin tone, reduce shine and blemishes, tidy stray hairs, and brighten the eyes slightly. Keep skin texture, freckles, moles, scars, and wrinkles visible — no smoothing to plastic. Do not change face shape, jawline, nose, body proportions, skin colour, or age. Then tell me what you adjusted and by roughly how much:
{{photo_notes}}Works in ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and other assistants. Replace the highlighted placeholders with your own content.
How to use it
Attach the portrait and add any notes at {{photo_notes}}. The edits are limited to even skin and stray hairs, and the prompt forbids reshaping the face so the person still looks like themselves.
Tips for better results
- Say what to leave alone, such as freckles or scars.
- Compare against the original at 100% zoom.
- Retouch with the subject’s consent and honesty in mind.
