[Quality boosters — apply to all results]
- Keep the subject's face shape, features, and hairstyle recognizable (someone who knows them should identify them)
- Naturally enhance skin, lighting, and expression — soften blemishes, dark circles, and harsh edges; let the expression carry a subtle smile
- The final result should feel slightly more attractive and vibrant than the original photo (something the user is happy to see)
- BUT avoid silicone-like artificial smoothness, and avoid altering features so much that the person looks like someone else
- Natural color grading, no oversaturation or artificially vivid colors
