The prompt
PROMPT · EN
Edit the uploaded portrait to give it realistic photographic detail and naturally textured skin. Reduce the overly smooth, waxy or plastic appearance. Add subtle, anatomically plausible pores, fine facial hairs, delicate lip texture and gentle tonal variations, matching the existing lighting, age and skin tone. Preserve the person's identity, facial proportions, expression, gaze, hairstyle and distinctive features. Keep the original composition, clothing, background, depth of field and lighting direction. Enhance fine detail selectively while retaining natural softness and smooth tonal transitions. Any added skin detail should look plausible rather than exaggerated. Avoid beauty filters, facial reshaping, excessive sharpening, HDR halos, gritty texture, exaggerated pores or added blemishes. The result should resemble a carefully processed camera portrait.
Paste it in English exactly as written. It works best that way, even if you chat in another language.

Tips for the best result
- Use a clear portrait at its original resolution so fine details are easier to assess.
- Match the amount of texture to the face's size in the frame; distant faces need less detail.
- If the result looks gritty, ask for subtler pores, less sharpening, and softer tonal transitions.
- Compare identity, expression, and distinctive features with the original; added texture is generated, not recovered.
