## What Skin Enhancer is for

* Fixing the smooth, plastic look photoreal models produce at high settings

## How to use Skin Enhancer

1. Open Skin Enhancer and upload your portrait.
2. Pick a mode.
3. Run it and compare against the original at 100%.
4. If you are also upscaling, run Skin Enhancer first and Image Enhancer second.

## Limitations

* It is built for portraits, so on a wide shot where the face is small it has little to work with.
* It changes texture only. A face that came out wrong stays wrong.
