Photoshop\u2019s Smart Portrait Neural Filter may not be its most practical feature, but it can still be a lot of fun. You can use Smart Portrait to quickly add facial expressions to your subject, like happiness, surprise or anger. You can change the age of your subject, making them look younger or older. And you can adjust hair thickness, eye direction, head direction and more just by dragging sliders.<\/p>\n

Like all of Photoshop\u2019s Neural Filters, Smart Portrait uses artificial intelligence to redraw the image with new detail that was not present in the original. But unlike other Neural Filters, Smart Portrait processes your image in the cloud, meaning that the effect is rendered online by Adobe\u2019s servers. The advantage with the cloud is that the result will be better than if it relied solely on your computer\u2019s power. But the disadvantage is that it takes longer, especially if your internet connection is slow.<\/p>\n

In this tutorial, I\u2019ll show you how each of the Smart Portrait sliders affects your image, and I\u2019ll share a few tips for getting the best possible results.<\/p>\n

The Smart Portrait Neural Filter has been upgraded from beta to an official release as of Photoshop 2022. So make sure that your copy of Photoshop is up to date. You can get the latest Photoshop version here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
