Common Issues

The correction looks unnatural or overdone

Why: AI sometimes over-corrects, making changes too obvious

Try: make the correction more subtle and natural β€” it should look like a better photo, not an edit

'Subtle and natural' is the most important phrase for appearance fixes

Fix changed my face too much β€” doesn't look like me

Why: Aggressive edits can alter facial proportions and identity

Try: keep my face exactly the same, only fix the specific issue I mentioned

Be very specific about what to change and explicitly state what to keep

The edit looks obvious in comparison to the original

Why: Strong local edits can create visible transitions with surrounding areas

Try: blend the edited area smoothly with the surrounding skin and features

Good blending is key β€” AI handles this well with explicit instructions

Lighting changed after the correction

Why: Localized edits can alter the apparent lighting on the face

Try: match the lighting on the corrected area to the rest of the photo

Mention 'consistent lighting' to ensure the edit doesn't create new artifacts

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do my under-eye bags look so much worse in photos?

Overhead lighting creates deep shadows in the under-eye hollows. Your eyes naturally adapt to soft, distributed light, but cameras capture the harsh directional shadows exactly as they fall. The processing also sharpens shadow edges, making them more prominent.

Will this make me look obviously retouched?

No. The fix brightens the shadow area to match the rest of your skin β€” like moving to better lighting. It doesn't paint over texture or create an uncanny smooth look.

Can I fix both dark circles and puffiness?

Yes. Use 'reduce under-eye bags and brighten dark circles' to address both at once. The AI handles discoloration and shadow depth together.

Does this work on older photos with deep under-eye shadows?

Yes. Whether the photo is from yesterday or 10 years ago, the fix works the same way β€” correcting shadow depth and discoloration.

What about genetic dark circles?

The AI can lighten genetic dark circles too. Try 'brighten the under-eye discoloration to match surrounding skin.' The improvement may be more subtle than fixing lighting-caused shadows.
