Wedding & portrait photo editing

What this tool actually does

It runs a five-stage retouching pass on one photograph: it plans the work, heals the specific patches that need it, applies a light face-contour slim, restores facial modelling, and neutralises the colour cast. The stages run in the order a professional retoucher works them — heal at high zoom first, liquify second, dodge and burn late, colour last.

The thresholds are not invented. They were measured against eight real before-and-after pairs from a working studio retoucher: how much yellow comes out of skin, how much chroma, how much texture is allowed to be lost. Those measurements are what every output is scored against.

What it is not is a whole-frame regeneration. That approach was tried and measured, and it does not preserve anything — detail correlation against the input came out at 0.007 on a backdrop and 0.016 on a jacket, and one run invented a lily that was never in the photograph. Here the model never sees the whole frame.

How it works

Upload one frame. JPG or PNG, up to 25MB, at whatever resolution you shot it.

The photograph is read and a plan comes back — where each face is, and which specific patches need work. The plan names regions; it never chooses how strongly to change them, because magnitudes belong in one auditable place rather than being re-decided per image.

Each planned region is cropped out with a margin, edited on its own, and composited back under a feathered mask. A returned crop that has been re-composed rather than cleaned is rejected and your original is kept — doing nothing is a valid outcome for a region.

Then the numeric stages: a light slim that follows the measured contour of the face, a low-opacity dodge-and-burn pass that adds depth back without touching the highlights, and a white balance plus chroma compression that lands the colour on the house target.

Six checks run on the result and you get the numbers with the file, at your original resolution.
