Will Hip Adjust change my waist, hands, or legs?

No. The mesh starts below the natural-waist band, fades out just below the hips, and is allowed to run only inside verified background gaps before the arms or hands. Those protected regions and all pixels outside the measured envelope are copied from the source.

Why can Hip Adjust refuse loose clothing or hands near the hips?

The tool requires one continuous clothing outline plus clean semantic background on both sides. Loose fabric, bare or hidden contours, touching hands, and nearby objects make the true hip boundary ambiguous, so the tool stops rather than bending the wrong pixels.

About the Hip Adjust effect

Hip Adjust makes a restrained change to a hip and pelvis band you can clearly see, and leaves the rest of the photo exactly as you shot it. It locates each person by their face, shoulders and hips, then separates a hip and pelvis band from the background, hair, skin and clothing before anything moves. The adjustment eases off to nothing at every edge of that area, and nearby background is filled in behind the new outline so no gaps appear. The face and every pixel outside the adjusted area are copied straight into a lossless PNG. In a group photo you pick who to change, or switch on "Apply to everyone" in Settings. Anyone standing too close for their neighbour to stay untouched is left alone rather than guessed at. If the photo is unclear, cut off, transparent or ambiguous, it stops instead of guessing.

How it works

Processing

Hip Adjust uses an AI action. Any separate allowance is shown before this effect starts processing.

Best for

sharp, opaque, front-facing photos with a clear face, both shoulders and hips visible, hands held away from the hip outline, and clean background on both sides of the hips — including group photos where each person has clear space around them.

Less suited to: people packed shoulder to shoulder with no gap between them, side or seated poses, hands on hips, bags or coats across the hip line, cropped hips, loose or flowing garments, transparent cutouts, motion blur, and bodies touching the image edge.

Ways to use Hip Adjust

Broaden only the lower hip and pelvis band while keeping the natural waist and upper body source-exact.
Use intensity to choose a subtle or more defined result within a fixed 12%-per-side safety limit.
