Prepare a clean press headshot editors can actually use

Actual generated edit; no press approval or print test. This example runs locally; files selected here stay in browser memory.

Check the press handoff

A press treatment does not mean a publication has accepted the file. Check dimensions, format and the destination crop separately.

Take the technique to your next job

Edit my attached photo into a natural clean press headshot. Preserve source facial proportions, expression, head angle, gaze, hair, clothes, accessories and posture. Use soft neutral studio light with both eyes readable, natural skin detail and a quiet off-white backdrop. Keep complete hair and useful headroom in a head-and-shoulders composition. No new smile, beauty makeover, outfit, hands, words or logos. Return one actual image for source and destination checks.
