Achieve high-end, photorealistic skin correction while strictly maintaining the subject's unique identity and natural texture.
Task & Identity Preservation Perform professional, high-end, editorial-grade facial retouching on the input image. Strict Identity Lock: Retain 100% of the subject's unique identity, facial structure, bone geometry, proportions, natural skin tone, facial expression, and perceived age. Do not regenerate, alter, or morph the face. The output must remain the exact same person from the reference photo. Skin Correction & Texture Blemish Removal: Remove temporary epidermal imperfections including active acne, blemishes, pimples, whiteheads, blackheads, sudden redness, ingrown hairs, and minor superficial scars. Tone & Micro-Texture: Smooth out blotchy pigmentation, hyperpigmentation, and uneven redness. Maintain a natural, healthy skin tone. Realistic Porosity: Retain crisp, micro-level dermal pores, natural skin grain, and subtle fine lines. Avoid excessive blur, plastic textures, doll-like smoothness, airbrushing, or aggressive beauty-filter effects. Feature & Lighting Retention Facial Features: Keep the eyes, irises, pupils, catchlights, eyelashes, eyebrows, lips, lip lines, facial hair, hairline, and teeth razor-sharp, unchanged, and unsoftened. Lighting & Shadows: Preserve the original lighting direction, ambient color temperature, highlights, subsurface scattering, ambient occlusion, and facial contour shadows. Do not flatten depth or overexpose highlights. Technical Output Photorealistic, 8K UHD finish, high dynamic range, sharp focus, clean editorial portrait quality, artifact-free. Negative Prompt (To Prevent Alterations):deformed facial features, face morphing, altered identity, different person, plastic skin, overly smooth, airbrushed, porcelain doll effect, flat lighting, blurred eyes, soft focus features, cartoon, digital painting, CGI, extra limbs, bad anatomy, overexposed highlights, washed out colors, low resolution, compression Prompt
An AI photo prompt is a descriptive text instruction given to Artificial Intelligence models like Midjourney, ChatGPT, or Google Gemini. It acts as a creative blueprint, telling the AI exactly what kind of image to generate, including details about the subject, lighting, environment, and artistic style. A well-crafted prompt is the secret to unlocking stunning, highly detailed AI-generated artwork.
This prompt creates a highly polished, professional editorial portrait output based on an input image. It applies advanced facial retouching techniques to remove temporary skin imperfections like blemishes and acne while strictly preserving the subject's unique identity, facial structure, and natural skin texture. The result is a photorealistic, 8K UHD finish that avoids the fake, over-smoothed "plastic" look common in basic AI editing.
This prompt is designed as a strict utility for image-to-image or inpainting tasks where maintaining the source subject's identity is paramount. It uses explicit constraints like "Strict Identity Lock" and "Realistic Porosity" to guide the AI to correct specific flaws without regenerating or morphing the face. The detailed structural requirements for retaining features sharp and lighting unchanged are crucial for professional-grade results.
This prompt is best used with AI tools that allow image input and precise control over regions, such as Stable Diffusion (via Inpainting or ControlNet), or Midjourney (using Vary Region). Upload your source photo, select the facial area if necessary, and use this text as the guiding prompt to apply the retouching effects only where needed while keeping the base image intact.
You can adjust the intensity of the retouching by modifying the terminology. For example, if you want a softer look, you could add "subtle beauty filter" (though this risks losing texture). To focus heavily on eye sharpening, emphasize the "Facial Features" section further. You can also change the "Technical Output" style from "editorial portrait" to "candid photo" or "cinematic still."
Since this is a retouching utility prompt, it applies generally to all genders. For men, ensure that "facial hair" preservation remains highly weighted to avoid accidental shaving. For women, you can specify retaining existing makeup exactly. For couples, use this prompt with inpainting to process each face individually to maintain their specific identities.
The most common mistake is the AI shifting the subject's identity, making them look like a relative or a different person entirely. To fix this, increase the fidelity setting of your tool or use ControlNet. Another mistake is "over-smoothing," leading to a plastic look. If this happens, re-read the "Realistic Porosity" section to ensure the prompt accurately demands the retention of skin grain and pores.
The resulting image will look like a high-end magazine cover. The subject will be instantly recognizable, but with temporary blemishes removed and skin tone evened out. Eyes will appear sparklier and teeth whiter, yet the overall texture will remain skin-like with visible pores, not a painted or 3D render look.
