Tips to Get Better Formal Photo Results
It is quite normal to go through several generations before getting the best formal photo outputs. However, the following tricks help reach your goal faster.
Start with a High-Quality Base Photo
You can’t make great dishes out of stale ingredients, the same goes for AI photo generation. Only with well-lit, sharp photos with your face in the center, you can get better AI formal photos.
A gentle smile, calm face in a poised pose will make you look great in formal photos. Avoid exaggerated expressions because AI might misinterpret them and distort the output.
Beauty filters, Instagram effects or anything that changes your facial structure might confuse the AI. Filters that adjust lighting conditions are tolerable.
