AI Headshots FAQ

1. What makes LUCID different from other AI headshot services?

LUCID is built specifically for Asian AI headshots, calibrated for Asian skin tones and facial structures to avoid the common “Westernizing” distortion seen in many AI professional headshot generators. Colors stay natural, identity stays accurate, and every final portrait receives handcrafted retouching for a polished, studio-quality feel—ideal for corporate profiles and LinkedIn headshots.

2. Are your AI headshots optimized for Asian skin tones and facial features?

Yes. Our system is tuned to avoid yellow casts, over-whitening, or reshaped bone structure, issues that often affect Asians in generic AI portrait services. The goal is clarity, accuracy, and respectful representation—perfect for anyone seeking a natural-looking headshot or a professional headshot for Asian women or men.

3. Will my portraits actually look like me?

Yes. Style is guided, but identity remains intact. We correct typical AI mistakes—keeping your real features, bone structure, and micro-expressions true to life—so your portrait feels like a real corporate headshot, not an AI filter. If it doesn’t look like you, you get one complimentary style change.

4. Can I use these photos for LinkedIn, résumés, and company websites?

Absolutely. Your portraits are produced at professional headshot studio standards and optimized for LinkedIn profile pictures, job applications, résumés, corporate websites, and business profiles. (Paid advertising is excluded unless otherwise noted.)

5. What kind of retouching is included?

Each portrait receives premium handcrafted retouching: tone balancing for Asian skin tones, micro-texture preservation, subtle refinement of eyes and skin, and removal of small distractions. No plastic smoothing, no beauty filters—just a clean, modern AI business photo that looks professionally shot.

6. How long does it take to receive my portraits?

Delivery is 72 hours for LUCID Lite and 48 hours for Signature and above, with optional 24-hour express. Even with fast turnaround, each portrait still goes through manual refinement so your AI headshot looks like it came from a real headshot studio.

7. What if I’m not satisfied with the result?

You get one free style change. If the lighting, expression, or overall vibe feels off, we’ll rework it. Higher-tier packages offer multiple retouches, useful for clients seeking more curated Asian professional headshots or brand-specific visuals.

8. How do you handle privacy? Are my photos used to train AI models?

Your photos are never used for training or public samples without your explicit consent. Files are processed securely and deleted after delivery. For LUCID Lite, if we believe your portrait fits as an anonymous sample, we’ll ask first—and only use it if you agree.

9. Can I upload smartphone photos? What image quality do you need?

Yes—smartphone photos are fine. Upload 3–10 high-resolution, front-facing images (Bespoke ID and Black Label require 7+ for model training). Avoid selfies or extreme angles; light makeup or a natural look works best; clear lighting ensures the strongest results for a clean, authentic AI LinkedIn headshot.

10. What’s the difference between the Lite, Signature, and Bespoke plans?

Lite provides one polished portrait suitable for résumés, LinkedIn, and corporate profiles. Signature adds variation, premium retouching, and regional exclusivity. Bespoke and Black Label include a lightweight ID model, multi-style outputs, consultation, and advanced usage rights—ideal for those needing a premium Asian professional headshot or multi-purpose branding images.
