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 does flash make hair look flat?

Flash light comes from directly in front, washing out all the shadows between hair strands that create the appearance of volume. Natural light comes from angles, creating highlights and shadows that give hair its 3D look.

Can this actually add volume to thin hair?

It enhances the dimension and light play in your existing hair, making it look fuller than the flat lighting allowed. It won't create hair that isn't there, but it restores the volume the camera removed.

Will this work on curly hair?

Yes. Try 'enhance curl definition and add dimension to my hair.' The AI understands different hair textures.

Can I fix hair volume in group photos?

Yes. The AI can enhance hair across the entire photo or you can tap markers on specific heads.

Does this work on dark hair?

Yes, though dark hair benefits most from 'add subtle highlights and dimension' since the shadows are already dark.

Is this really free?

Yes β€” 1 free edit per week, no account needed. Plans start at $3.99/month for unlimited.
