Fixing harsh lighting: the studio-portrait prompt from the viral thread

TawohAwa · x · 2026-09-05

Prompt #2 of the thread (quote includes #1):

Correct harsh lighting: turn harsh, uneven, unflattering light into polished studio-quality portrait — balance highlights, shadows, exposure, contrast and color temperature, recover shadow detail, and add natural depth without looking processed.

Sharpen blurry portraits (quoted): restore natural facial detail and focus, reduce blur, noise and compression artifacts, and recover realistic detail in eyes, hair, skin and clothing. Both prompts strictly lock the subject's identity features.
