COMBb2's AI Retouch tool offers intelligent portrait enhancement: skin smoothing, blemish removal, and subtle facial feature refinement. Using edge-aware Sobel detection, it smooths skin texture while preserving the sharpness of eyes, lips, and facial contours. Natural-looking results without the "plastic" overly-smoothed appearance. All processing stays on your device.

Common Use Cases

  • Portrait photography
    Smooth skin and remove blemishes in professional portrait sessions.
  • Professional headshots
    Clean up headshots for LinkedIn, corporate websites, and team pages.
  • Selfie enhancement
    Quick touch-ups for social media profile photos and personal shots.
  • Wedding and event photos
    Subtle skin smoothing for formal event photography.
  • Old photo restoration
    Smooth damaged or deteriorated skin areas in vintage portraits.

How It Works

The tool uses Sobel edge detection to create a map of facial features - identifying edges around eyes, lips, nose, and hair that should remain sharp. It then applies selective Gaussian smoothing only to skin areas (low-edge regions), removing blemishes and texture irregularities while preserving feature definition and natural appearance.

Why Privacy Matters Here

Portrait retouching involves the most personal of images - your face. Cloud retouching services process your selfies and headshots on their servers, creating copies of your most identifiable photos. COMBb2 retouches entirely on your device. Your portraits, headshots, and personal photos are never uploaded or processed remotely.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will retouching make me look "fake" or overly smooth?+
No. The edge-aware algorithm preserves natural facial structure - eyes, lips, and contours stay sharp. Only skin texture and blemishes are softened. The result looks like naturally good skin, not a heavily filtered photo.
Does it work on group photos?+
Yes, though results are best on photos where faces are clearly visible and large enough in the frame. For group photos with smaller faces, the smoothing effect will be subtler.
Can I adjust the smoothing intensity?+
Yes. The strength slider lets you control how much smoothing is applied. Lower values produce subtle refinement; higher values remove more texture. Preview the result to find your preferred level.
Does it change facial features or shape?+
No. The tool only affects skin texture. It does not alter facial geometry, reshape features, or change skin tone. Your face structure remains exactly as it is in the original photo.
Are my portrait photos uploaded?+
No. All retouching happens in your browser. Your selfies and portraits never leave your device.
