Frequently asked questions
Can I retouch only one blemish?
Describe one small, visible area and the surrounding texture you want preserved. A focused prompt is easier to review than a general makeover.
Does it preserve natural skin?
The prompt asks for natural texture, but generated edits can still smooth or reshape details. Compare the result with the source.
