AI Skin Retouching Guide:
Perfect Skin Tones Automatically
Flawless, natural-looking skin across entire shoots — without touching a single slider.
The Skin Retouching Challenge
Every photographer knows the pain: you deliver 100 portrait images to a client, and 90 of them have inconsistent skin tones. Some faces look orange. Some look pink. Some have visible blemishes. Some have too much shine.
Manual retouching problems:
- • Takes 2–5 minutes per image
- • Results are inconsistent across the shoot
- • Easy to over-retouch and create plastic-looking skin
- • Doesn't scale for high-volume work
- • Expensive to outsource
ShootCleaner's AI solves this.
How ShootCleaner's Skin AI Works
Skin Detection & Isolation
AI automatically identifies skin in every image — faces, arms, hands, shoulders — and creates precise masks.
Tone Harmonization
Normalizes skin color across the entire shoot, eliminating orange/pink/green variations.
Blemish & Redness Reduction
Removes temporary blemishes, redness, and discoloration while preserving freckles and natural features.
Shine Control
Reduces oily shine on foreheads, noses, and cheeks without flattening the image.
Texture Preservation
Maintains natural skin texture, pores, and authenticity — no plastic-looking results.

ShootCleaner Skin Settings
ShootCleaner gives you control over how aggressively skin is retouched:
Natural (Recommended)
Subtle improvements that maintain authenticity. Perfect for most portrait work.
Moderate
More noticeable smoothing and blemish removal. Good for commercial work.
Heavy
Magazine-level retouching. Use sparingly for high-fashion or beauty work.
Custom
Fine-tune individual controls (redness, shine, texture, tone harmonization).
💡 Pro Tip: Start with "Natural" and adjust only if needed. Most photographers never leave this setting.
