now: face area is a rectangle
future: user draw the area
the most important is: hair
because some people’s hair is long, hair would be two effects if the hair around the face is enhanced but the other hair not
Hi.
I hope as do you that Topaz are somehow able to expand the selection area but, how far do you go after all, Recover Faces means exactly that Face Recognition
In the meantime, I often get great results using Recover Faces in combination with Super Focus which does a fantastic job of recovering other parts of the body including long hair
It’s the transition from the face recovered rectangle to the rest of the image enhanced with a different technique that usually causes me trouble. If we had a better method of eliminating the noticeable transition it would great.
Here’s an example:
After a lot of hand retouching, here’s the way it should have looked:
Hi Andy,
As I mentioned in my reply to lxyfj, how far do you go between enhancing the face and the hair, including smoothing the transition after all, it is called Recover Faces also, with lxyfj I was referring to Photo AI as that’s the topic.
In my own workflow I would normally use a combination of Photo AI & Gigapixel’s Redefine for recovering the face & body and yes create more than, one instance of the same image for compositing later to achieve the results I require.
Besides, the latest version of Photo AI now has the ability to turn off Hair and Neck within the main interface without the need to go in to the Preferences Menu which, helps a little bit because, the transition between the face and hair or neck is less abrupt.
Hope this helps and before I go I like to say I enjoy reading your interesting posts a lot.
Andy
perfect effect
