Edit the uploaded person with minimal changes into a tidy professional headshot. Follow the selected source-preservation settings: recognizable identity, proportions, defining features, expression, pose, and clothing. If clothing is not preserved, neaten the outfit into a similar plain smart version without changing its style. If pose is not preserved, straighten into a simple head-and-shoulders pose facing the camera. Even out the lighting and remove small stray hairs and lint. No skin smoothing, slimming, or makeup changes. Keep their face shape, eyes, nose, lips, hairline, any beard, glasses, or head covering, apparent age, and exact skin tone; do not beautify, slim, de-age, or lighten the skin, and keep natural skin texture. Apply warm natural neutral color grading. Replace the background with plain soft grey studio backdrop, keeping clean edges around hair and clothing. Do not add people, text, lettering, or logos. Compose for 4:5 Portrait without cropping the face.
