Recover Faces In An Image

How do we recover faces in images? Click the link below to download the sample image, open it in Topaz Photo AI, and follow along.

Autopilot analyzes the sample image. It will:

detect faces in the image
detect face quality
turn on Face Recovery
set the slider Strength automatically
turn on Enhance Resolution and upscale the image 3.6x due to low starting quality

For small or low quality images, Face Recovery should be used with Upscaling to get the best image quality.

The autopilot settings produces the below result (right).

A green dot appears next to Recover Faces and the sliders when you are using autopilot settings.

If you make manual changes to Face Recovery strength or selected faces, you can return to autopilot settings by clicking the reset button.

Hover over the "Faces" text to view the faces detected and the faces currently selected for improvement.

To select/deselect faces for processing, click the Faces button under the miniature preview or the Select Faces button in the Recover Faces filter.

Click on a face to select it. The preview shows:

Click "Select All " to toggle all faces or no faces selected for processing.

Click Apply to save your selection.

Click the toggle to manually disable/enable Face Recovery. This can be toggled only if faces are detected in your image.

For a weaker result decrease the Strength slider. The default Strength is set to 80 and can be changed in the Preferences > Autopilot menu.
