Refine the portrait you pictured.

A considered edit, with the whole portrait in view

FIGUR brings portrait shaping into a focused image workspace. Use it when a small adjustment to a silhouette, proportion or pose would help the photograph match your brief. The useful result is an intentional edit that you have checked against the source, rather than a collection of changes made because a slider was available.

A fashion photograph, creator portrait and personal image can need different treatment. Decide what should remain unchanged before you begin: facial expression, garment seams, straight architectural lines and another person in the frame are useful reference points. Keep the original independently so every exported version has a clear starting point.

Prepare a source you can judge accurately

Create or open a named project, then choose the portrait you are authorised to edit. A clear view of the relevant body region gives automatic detection a better starting point; cropping, occlusion, unusual poses and loose clothing can change what it identifies. Detection is a proposal to inspect, not a guarantee that every boundary is correct.

Use an image with enough detail for the intended output. Enlarging a small source does not restore missing detail. Inspect both the full photograph and the region you will change, and give the project a name that distinguishes this edit from the original or another client’s work.

Shape one region, then compare its surroundings

• Use the waist, hips, bust and curve controls for the relevant detected region. Increase adjustments gradually so the relationship to the rest of the portrait stays understandable.
• Place manual shaping points when the edit needs a more deliberate local direction. Clear points that no longer belong to the current decision rather than layering unrelated corrections.
• Use detection overlays and view controls to understand the region, then hide the overlays to judge the actual image. Compare the full original and current image before deciding the edit is finished.

An adjustment can affect nearby fabric, hair or background lines. Review those details after every meaningful change; a pleasing close crop may still look inconsistent when seen in the whole composition.

Example: prepare one portrait for a campaign

1. Open the original and identify one specific change requested in the brief. Save the project before trying several directions.
2. Adjust that region gently. Compare it with the source, and inspect garment edges, hands and nearby straight lines at a useful zoom.
3. Use a small number of manual points only where they improve the intended shape. Reset an unhelpful adjustment rather than compensating for it with a second distortion.
4. Export the approved portrait. If the layout needs extra space around the subject, import that export into Outpaint and inspect its edges before making the final campaign version.

Keep the project and inspect the exported file

FIGUR saves the owned project’s image state, manual points, controls, selected section and view settings. Wait for a confirmed save before closing the browser or switching devices. If another tab has saved a newer revision, resolve the conflict instead of repeatedly submitting an older state.

Download the edited image and open that file outside the editor. Check its framing and visible detail at the size the recipient will use. Exporting a flattened image is useful for the next app, but that file does not carry FIGUR’s editable points and slider history. Retain the saved project and original if you expect another revision.

Private projects and a free editing workflow

The interactive shaping work uses the browser’s graphics capabilities. Saving a project sends its image state to Patchman’s authenticated project service so it can be restored; browser rendering does not mean that a saved project has no server copy. Only the verified owner can read or change that project.

The deterministic portrait controls do not use a paid AI generation dependency. Patchman Account supplies the sign-in, access and shared wallet. If a request fails, keep the source and unsaved decision available, read the descriptive error and check the current project before retrying a save.
