Does this replace my retoucher for final print files?

No — this is a sales-session preview, not final delivery output. It shows the client what a retouched result looks like so they commit to the right package; your retoucher, or your existing retouching workflow, still produces the final high-resolution files that get printed.

Can it handle group and family portraits with several faces in one frame?

Yes. The AI processes every face in the frame individually — skin, blemishes, red-eye, and flyaway hair are corrected per person, not applied as one blanket filter across the group.

Does it hold up at school picture day volume — hundreds of students in one sitting?

Yes. Each preview generates in seconds from the existing proof workflow, so a photo coordinator can run it at the same pace as picture day itself without adding a separate retouching queue.

What can it actually fix — blemishes, red-eye, glasses glare, wrinkles?

Skin texture and blemishes, red-eye, on-camera flash glare including glare on glasses lenses, flyaway hair, minor wrinkles and dark circles, and color or exposure correction. It's calibrated for standard portrait retouching, not a full identity change.

Can it swap or clean up the backdrop?

Yes. A patterned or worn studio backdrop can be replaced with a clean solid color or a different backdrop option entirely, so clients considering a directory photo or LinkedIn headshot see the exact background before approving the order.

How is this different from a Lightroom preset or a batch-editing plugin?

A preset applies the same adjustment to every image regardless of the individual face in it. This generates a result specific to that client's actual skin, features, and lighting conditions — closer to what a human retoucher produces, but in seconds instead of the 10 to 20 minutes manual retouching takes per image.

Are client photos retained after the session?

That's your call, not ours — it's your software. We build the storage and retention policy around what your studio needs and make sure it meets FERPA for school photography accounts, or any other privacy regulation that applies to your client base. No training on your data, ever.

There's no off-the-shelf plan, so there's no published price list. Share your details and we'll discuss project scope and pricing on a free consultation call — see /pricing for details.

Show clients their retouched portrait before they pick a package

Upload the session proof you already shot. Makeover generates a smoothed-skin, color-corrected, blemish-free preview in seconds — the client's own portrait, not a sample from your studio wall, sitting next to the raw proof at the ordering counter.

What is a portrait enhancement preview?

A portrait enhancement preview tool uses AI to generate a retouched, print-ready version of a client's own portrait directly from the session proof. The photographer or sales consultant uploads the raw image, and the tool produces a side-by-side comparison showing skin smoothing, blemish and red-eye removal, color and lighting correction, and backdrop cleanup — the same fixes a retoucher applies to a final print, visible before the client commits to an order. Portrait studios, school photography companies, and headshot photographers use this at the point of sale to turn a hesitant proof-viewing appointment into a package upgrade.

Why it matters

A portrait sitting fee runs $50 to $300, but the real revenue sits in the upsell — canvas prints, albums, and multi-sheet bundles that push an order from $150 to $800 or more. That upsell decision happens at one moment: the proofing appointment, when the client is looking at raw images straight off the camera — visible pores, on-camera flash glare, red-eye, the flyaway hair nobody caught during the sitting. Every imperfection in an unretouched proof argues against the bigger package. Show the client the retouched version at that exact moment, before they've mentally downgraded to the cheapest sheet, and the conversation shifts from "is this worth framing" to "which size."

Who uses this

The photographer who runs the sitting usually isn't the one selling the package — that falls to the print consultant or studio sales rep at the proofing appointment, and they're the one who needs the enhanced preview on screen. Studio owners running family portrait chains use it at every proofing session. School photography account reps use it to move parents off the base package on picture day. Corporate headshot photographers use it to get same-day sign-off from an office manager before the invoice goes out, and wedding photographers use it on portrait-heavy packages where the couple is deciding between an 8x10 print and a 24x36 canvas.

Heard this from a client?

The client flips through raw proofs straight off the camera — on-camera flash glare, visible pores, a red eye nobody caught — and downgrades from the $650 package to a single 5x7 because the unretouched version doesn't look worth framing.

It's school picture day and the collar is crooked, the kid blinked, or a flyaway hair is stuck to their forehead. Parents check the box for the cheapest package instead of the deluxe bundle because there's no time to retouch 300 students before ordering closes.

A corporate client wants the headshot on a clean gray backdrop for the company directory, but the session happened against the studio's patterned backdrop, and they hesitate to approve the invoice without seeing the swap first.

How portrait enhancement previews work

Three steps. Under 10 seconds. No design skills needed.

Upload the session proof

Any raw image straight off the camera or from your existing proofing gallery — no extra shoot, no special lighting setup required.

AI generates the retouched preview

The model smooths skin texture, corrects color and exposure, removes blemishes, red-eye, and flyaway hair, and can swap the backdrop — the standard fixes your retoucher would apply to a final print.

Present it at the ordering session

Raw proof next to retouched preview, on the same screen the client is already looking at. The package conversation happens with the better version in front of them.
