You can enhance your portrait pictures easily using Makeup Photo! service. Using the service is as easy as 1, 2, 3:

1) Upload a photo either from your computer or via an URL.
Note! The face on the photo must be large enough to detect it automatically. The algorithm shows much better results on high-resolution images

2) After you have uploaded a photo, you'll see an enhanced image instantly.
Here you also will see a list of retouching options you can check or uncheck, depending on what type of enhancement your photo really needs.

All retouching options (except for the additional 'Enhance colors' tool) are checked by default, but you can uncheck the ones you consider unnecessary.

  • Skin makeup - removes pimples and skin defects.

  • Shine remover -  removes oily skin glare.

  • Wrinkle smoothing - removes wrinkles.

  • Eye makeup -  removes red eye effect and enhances eye contour and eye color.

  • Teeth whitening - whitens the teeth.

  • Glamour effect - “glamorizes” an image with a soft focus effect.


Tip: To compare the corrected image with the original, switch between the Result and Source radio buttons.


3) Now you can save and share the enhanced image any way you like:

  • Share it easily to any site or blog with the given codes; get short URLs to post the image on Twitter or anywhere else; or post it instantly to a social network (Facebook, MySpace, Twitter and others) with a button click!

  • Save it to disk

  • or Send it as an e-card (you can create a fun e-card with your resulting image and send it to a friend)

The quest for the perfect product never ends!

Actually this is related to the Pho.to Enhancement Platform, but since this place is more active I'll take advantage of it.

My question is simply this: Can I include the cropping tool in the platform?

Re: Retouching portrait images. Automatic high-grade methods

I wish you'd make a portable offline version of your online photo apps because many times I don't have access to the internet when I'm working on editing photographs & at those times I've wanted very much to be able to use apps such as Makeup Photo and was frustrated that it isn't available offline.

I'm sure I'm not the only person who has to do much of their photo editing work offline.  I know many people who only have internet connection when they're at school or work, not at home and making your tools available offline would mean people aren't restricted to only being able to use them at times when they're at school or work or the library AND at times when they have enough time on the school, work, or library computer to be able to edit photos before their time is up and its time for the next user to take a turn.

There are MANY areas of the USA where most people don't have internet access at home, for instance most homes on Indian Reservations don't have internet access or cable tv or other such amenities that many of the rest of us take for granted.  Yet children  on the rez will be assigned homework to do online which means going to the library or school computer and waiting in line to try to get a chance to get online.  Adults in such places often can only get online by going to the library and hoping that with all the school kids and other adults needing to get online, that they get a turn too.  People download things at the library and take them home to use on their own computers, providing they even have a computer.  After all, in places such as the rez, you will even see plenty of people still using the old wringer washing machines and drying their laundry on a clothesline even in wintertime!  In most parts of the country, people have never even SEEN an old wringer washing machine!

Re: Retouching portrait images. Automatic high-grade methods

Thank you for this lovely service. I have just one question - is it possible to manually use the tool or restrict certain areas from the face from correction@. The problem is that after the auto reduction (wrinkle remover function) half of the eyebrows dissapeared...:/ Save for this, the picture looks great smile

Dear VesperSun!

Unfortunately we have not the option for manual tool use and can't restrict certain areas from the face from correction. But we'll think of how we can perform it!
