What does the Skin Glow effect change?

Skin Glow targets the relevant skin region with a restrained local correction, balancing the requested refinement against pores, tonal variation, and recognizable facial texture. The strength control determines how much of that treatment replaces the unedited appearance.

Which photos work best with Skin Glow?

Choose Skin Glow for mature-skin retouching, professional headshots, or profile pictures with natural texture 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.
