FaceMixer can automatically extract the facial features (eyes, nose, mouth, etc.) and place key dots on appropriate positions. However, the results automatically extracted may not be accurate due to facial expression, pose variation or bad illumination. As described in Step 4, in order to get the best mixing effect, you can manually move the key dots to align them to the face.

Edit a Dot

There are two modes when edit a dot: Automatic and Manual. Press the Shift key to switch between the two modes.

Automatic: When you move cursor over a dot and drag it to move this dot to its accurate position, the other dots will be automatically move to their ideal positions. Our intelligent face feature extraction engine will help you align key dots very quickly. After you move a couple of dots to their accurate position, you may find that all the dots have been aligned. Note, in Automatic mode, you can hold the CTRL key and drag a dot to switch to Manual mode temporarily.

Manual: When you drag a dot to its accurate position, only this one dot will be moved and the other dots won't be changed. Note, in Manual mode, you can hold the CTRL key and drag a dot to switch to Automatic mode temporarily.

Edit a Line

In both Automatic and Manual mode, move cursor over a line and drag it to translate all the key dots connected by the line.

Remarks

• In Automatic mode, it is recommended to move the most important dots (the corner of eyes, mouth, and the middle dot of face contour) at first.
