Frequently asked questions

How do I keep team headshots consistent?
Use similar front-facing source photos, choose one approved prompt and 4:5 ratio, and keep the same background and lighting direction. Review the full set together before publishing it.
Can I process a whole team at once?
The focused workflow supports Premium batch processing with one recipe. Batch saves setup time, but it does not replace consent, likeness checks, or an individual review of every generated portrait.
What should employees upload?
Ask for a recent, well-lit portrait with one person, a visible head and shoulders, no face obstruction, and enough space around the head. Similar source quality produces a more coherent directory.
Should generated team photos be reviewed?
Yes. Confirm each person remains recognizable and check hair, glasses, teeth, jewelry, clothing, and background edges. Replace or regenerate any portrait that changes identity-relevant details.
