Tips for better results

Good lighting and a clear view of faces help; try another style if one look feels too strong or soft.

  • Use even lighting and a clear, front-facing view—avoid heavy shadow on faces.

  • For gongbi style, traditional costume and a simple background often look best.

  • Up to five faces per image; very small or turned-away faces may reduce quality.
