Bring only the eyes into focus in a soft old portrait
In many old portraits the nose is soft and the eyes dissolve into two dark smudges. Sharpening the whole face then makes the skin look crunchy. Send the portrait and ask the bot to work on the eyes and brows alone.

Make it in TelegramWhy eyes come first
Viewers read a portrait by the eyes, so even a small gain in clarity changes how alive the face feels. The bot restores the edge of the iris, the line of the lids and the lashes. It avoids drawing in extra detail where the source holds none, because a made-up iris pattern can look uncanny. Mild, honest clarity is more convincing.
Two eyes must agree
After the pass, zoom in and check symmetry. Eyes should point the same way, share the same light direction and sit on the same line. A mismatch tells you the restoration guessed wrong, and a repeat request often cures it. For portraits of someone who has died, match the result against a clear photo, and ask relatives whether the eyes feel right to them.
Tips
- Check that both eyes look in the same direction.
- Mention if the person wore glasses.
- Ask for a tiny catchlight when the eyes are dull.
- Compare with a second photo of the person.
