I have to hand a retouched portrait to the account team for a client presentation tonight. The founder's niece is in the shot and they want her to look polished but still like herself; I'm nervous about going too far and making it look airbrushed. Tell me which three retouch moves are acceptable for this kind of family-sensitive image, which fixes cross the 'do not' line, and give me a one-line note I can pin to the file for the retoucher to respect skin texture.

No. Each page gives you a ready prompt you can paste into an AI assistant, plus the plain steps to do it yourself. Start with either — the goal is the finished job, not the tool.
