Tips for best results
- •Use high-clarity source photos: For the most realistic, pore-visible skin texture, upload a source image that has no pre-existing filters, heavy makeup, or digital smoothing.
- •Coordinate with brand colors: Select the navy suit option if your corporate branding leans toward modern trust, or charcoal gray if you want to project a more conservative, traditional authority.
- •Keep facial expressions composed: When uploading reference images, choose source files with neutral or slightly serious expressions to align perfectly with the authoritative, calm presence of the template.
