Remove stray hair from portraits

  • Updated

Stray Hair removes wispy hair around each face in portraits. It is available in early beta.

Keep in mind

  • Stray Hair needs high-res photos, so uploading might take longer than usual.
     
  • Choose the Portraits photography type to add Stray Hair to your project. When choosing AI tools, it’s in the Retouch category.

In Adobe apps, Stray Hair is applied in the same layer as Denoise. This means that you can't have Adobe Denoise and Stray Hair in the same photo. If you want to replace Stray Hair with Adobe Denoise, see Replace Stray Hair with Adobe Denoise.
