美图云修

Platform introduction:

美图云修It is an AI solution created to solve the "three core pain points in the later stage of commercial photography"-- Low efficiency : Traditional retouching can only process less than 10 pictures in one hour, and the customer film delivery cycle is long; The effects are mixed : Different retouching artists have different styles, and the quality of customer films fluctuates greatly; The threshold is high : Professional operations such as RAW shifting and neutral gray peeling require long-term experience, and newcomers are slow to get started. Its core logic is to "reconstruct the post-process with 'AI automation + aesthetic depositment'": there is no need to manually and repeatedly abrade the skin, and AI automatically achieves the refinement effect of" true nature and retaining skin texture "; there is no need to adjust one sheet by one, and the batch processing function allows The number of retouches in one hour jumped from" 10 sheets "to" 1000 sheets "; There is no need to worry about aesthetic deviations. Built-in trend presets (new Chinese style, film style) are in line with market demand, allowing commercial photography to "reduce costs, improve efficiency, and ensure quality" in the later stage, and adapt to all levels of needs from independent photographers to large photo studios.

Core functions:

1. Core: Five major commercial-grade AI refinement modules
   1. AI portrait refinement: authentic and natural, retaining texture
      In response to the core needs of commercial portraits, avoid the problem of "excessive retouching and fake faces":
      • Full-dimensional portrait optimization : Covering skin modification (peeling, removing acne marks, retaining pore texture), facial reshaping (precise liquefaction, fine-tuning of facial features), and full-body beauty (3D technology creates S-line, 360 degrees without dead corners), children's photography scenes can retain the delicate skin feeling (Maggie Children's Photography feedback is "It is truly natural after repair, and customer satisfaction is high");
      • Gender/scene adaptation : Automatic recognition of portrait characteristics, boys 'retouching to avoid excessive skin abrasion, children's retouching to retain the childlike texture, and wedding dress retouching to highlight elegant contours, solving the problem of "one-size-fits-all" refinement.

2. Intelligent color adjustment: professional color adjustment, one-click release
   Adapt to the needs of commercial photography for "uniform color and style":

   • Full process support for RAW format : Automatic conversion optimization (adjustment of exposure, white balance), without relying on LR, novices can also process RAW material from professional cameras;
   • AI color migration and preset : Support "reference color" copying (such as migrating sample color to guest films), built-in new Chinese style, simulated film, international fashion and other trend presets, and generate master-level texture with one click of application (Secret Coffee Photo Feedback "Meet the needs of full-scene toning");
   • Detail coloring tool : Provides curve coloring, intelligent exposure, and skin color unification functions. Professional reparers can manually fine-tune, taking into account automation and professionalism.

3. Intelligent background processing: Efficient removal of flaws and scene replacement
   Solve the problem of "messy background and high secondary shooting cost" in commercial photography:

   • Background defect removal : Top image segmentation algorithms automatically identify and remove dirty background and unnecessary objects (such as prop afterimages in children's photography);
   • Background replacement and sky change : Support one-click background replacement (such as changing indoor photo background to exterior location) and intelligent sky change (changing photos on rainy days to clear skies), eliminating the need for manual matting, saving later time.

4. Batch refinement: efficiency increased by 12 times, delivery accelerated
   For the core needs of commercial photography organizations, the document clearly emphasizes "repairing 1000 photos in one hour":

   • Full-process batch processing : After importing multiple photos, the "retouching template"(including color matching, beauty, and background processing) can be uniformly applied to automatically complete the full-process refinement without having to operate one by one;
   • Batch export and naming : Support automatic naming according to "customer name + serial number", and the export format is unified (such as JP300DPI for printing), which adapts to the studio's "batch delivery of guest films" scene (Golden Childhood Feedback "Guest film Delivery speed and quality have been improved").

5. Intelligent preset: Fit trends and lower aesthetic thresholds
   Covering the mainstream style of commercial photography without manually debugging parameters:

   • Scene-based presets : Children's photography has "childhood fun" and "cherry blossoms" presets, wedding photography has "wedding dress" and "photo" presets, and commercial portraits have "portrait" and "fashion" presets. You can apply with one click. Fit the scene needs;
   • Custom template : Supports saving commonly used retouching parameters as templates (such as the "Newborn Retouching Template" of a certain studio). The style within the team is unified, and new people can produce standard effects when they get started.

typical application scenarios

• Children's Photography Agency Batch Refinement : Maggie Children's Photography takes 1000 newborn photos. After importing them with 美图云修, it applies the "Children's Fun" preset + batch Refinement, and the full process is completed in 1 hour. After repair, the photos retain the skin's delicate feel and increase parent satisfaction by 40%;
• Wedding photo studio processing : A wedding photo studio receives 50 pairs of newlyweds, and each pair needs about 20 pieces for refinement. The batch function is used to uniformly apply the "wedding dress" preset + background change sky, and 1000 pieces of refinement are completed in one day., saving 5 days compared with traditional processes;
• RAW processing by independent photographers : For RAW format portraits taken by independent commercial photographers,美图云修 automatic transfer +AI color transfer is used to complete 20 refinement in 30 minutes. There is no need to manually adjust white balance and exposure, and efficiency is improved by 3 times;
• Photography teaching scene : Chengdu City Photography Artists Association uses 美图云修 as a teaching tool. Newcomers quickly understand the logic of retouching through "intelligent preset + one-click refinement", and the starting time has been shortened from "1 month" to "1 week".

applicable population

• Commercial photography organizations : Children's photography (such as Golden Childhood, Fanni Douding), wedding photo studios, and photo studios need to process guest films in batches to improve delivery efficiency;
• Professional photographers : Independent commercial portrait photographers and fashion photographers who need to efficiently process RAW materials to ensure the quality of retouching;
• Retouch team : Post-stage teams of large photography organizations need to unify their retouch styles and reduce the cost of training newcomers;
• Photography education institutions : Photography training institutions and vocational colleges need easy-to-use tools to assist teaching to help students quickly master the logic of retouching.

Unique advantages (compare traditional retouching with similar tools)

1. Endorsed by Mito's technology, the effect is professional and reliable : Relying on Mito's 20 years of image accumulation, AI retouching retains the skin texture (different from the "fake face" with excessive dermabrasion), and won the CVPR NTIRE image enhancement/de-fog competition championship., technical strength recognized by the industry (recommended by the Vice Chairman of the China Portrait Photography Association);
2. Efficiency rolling traditional process : Repairing 1000 sheets in one hour, which is 12 times more efficient than traditional refinishing. Annual refinishing exceeds 500 million sheets, and 30,000 + institutional verification is available to meet the "high turnover" needs of commercial organizations;
3. Accurate adaptation to commercial scenes : Designed specifically for children, wedding dresses, and commercial portraits (such as retaining the texture of children's skin and changing the sky with the background of wedding dresses), it understands the pain points of commercial photography better than general retouching tools (such as PS);
4. Lower the professional threshold : RAW automatic transfer, AI color transfer and other functions allow novices to process professional materials. The Chengdu City Photography Artists Association uses them as a teaching tool so that newcomers can get started quickly;
5. Cost controllable : The institutional version is priced based on the team size, which is 60% lower than hiring multiple professional retourers, while avoiding style fluctuations caused by staff turnover.

precautions

1. Free trial restrictions : The free version only supports single retouching and basic presets. Core functions such as batch processing and RAW transfer need to be upgraded to the paid version. It is recommended to try the single effect before making a decision;
2. Computer configuration requirements : When processing 1000 photos in batches or processing 1 billion pixel images, it is recommended that the computer be equipped with 16GB + memory and independent GPU (such as NVIDIA RTX 2060 and above) to avoid stuck;
3. RAW format support : Supports RAW formats for mainstream cameras (such as Canon CR2, Nikon NEF). It is recommended to convert to DNG format for niche camera formats before importing;
4. Suggestion for unified style : When using it by an organization, it is recommended to first create a "team-specific template"(such as unified beauty parameters and color matching styles) to ensure that the output effects of different photographers/retouchers are consistent;
