What does the Iris Color effect change?

Iris Color identifies the relevant facial feature and applies a controllable cosmetic or corrective treatment aligned to its existing shape, light, and texture. The strength control determines how much of that treatment replaces the unedited appearance.

Which photos work best with Iris Color?

Choose Iris Color for profile pictures with natural texture, mature-skin retouching, or professional headshots when the source has clear detail and balanced exposure. Start with a lighter setting if it contains obscured faces, extreme side angles, tiny group-photo faces, or sources where hair and background boundaries cannot be separated reliably.
