Tutorial Recap
Key Steps
Open the Face Edit feature & Upload
Log into your Expression Editor AI account, navigate to the Face Edit feature, and upload your photo. For best results, use a photo with a single, clear face.
(Optional) Calibrate for 3D Preview
For guidance, you can calibrate the face to our generic 3D model. This step is recommended if you want a real-time preview of your adjustments, but it can be skipped.
Navigate to Eye Controls
In the settings panel on the bottom left, click on the "Eyes" tab to reveal all the adjustment controls for pupils, eyelids, and eyebrows.
Adjust the "Blink" Slider
Use the 'Blink' slider to control the degree of eye closure. Move it to the right to open closed eyes or to the left to add a natural-looking blink.
Apply and Generate
Once you're ready, click "Apply" to generate the final, high-quality image with your eye adjustments applied directly to your original photo.
