## About

## What it does
Skin Retouch smooths skin-toned regions in a portrait image while preserving edges and facial detail. Send a binary image file and get back a processed image file, with control over how strong the smoothing effect should be.

Use the `file` input to submit the portrait image, and optionally set `strength` from 0 to 1 to tune the amount of retouching. Lower values keep more original texture; higher values apply stronger smoothing. The output is a binary image, so it fits directly into image pipelines that store, forward, or serve edited files.

Use Skin Retouch when you need consistent portrait cleanup for profile photos, marketplace listings, creator tools, or automated photo workflows. It is designed for targeted skin smoothing rather than full-image filtering, so edges and non-skin areas are preserved as the image is processed.
