Layout and Print Window - Portrait Enhance Dialog Box

To display the Portrait Enhance dialog box, click the Image Correct button in the Layout and Print window, and then click the Portrait Enhance button in the Print Correction dialog box.

Here you can improve the quality of portrait images.

Note:

RAW data without thumbnail takes more time to be displayed.

Depending on the printer you select in the Select Paper window, the Portrait Enhance button is not displayed in the Print Correction dialog box and the Portrait Enhance corrections are not available.

You cannot apply Portrait Enhance corrections to images less than 240 pixels.

If the image cannot be recognized as a portrait image, Portrait Enhance corrections cannot be applied.

To achieve best results from Portrait Enhance corrections, the following images are recommended;

- Up to three persons appear in the image.

- All people face the front. Portrait Enhance corrections may not be applied to the faces taken in profile or at an angle.

- Faces are not too close (If faces are too close, part of them could be deformed after applying Face Definition correction).

- Faces are not covered by sunglasses, hat, or cap.

- Faces are not extremely large or small in the entire image.

Example of recommended image

In some photos, part of objects positioned near the human face could be deformed after applying Face Definition correction.

Depending on the image you choose, you may not achieve the desired effect after applying Portrait Enhance corrections.
