Costume & Face QA

Halloween Photo & Makeup Troubleshooting

Avoid common pitfalls when uploading costumed or dimly lit photos.

Issue: Heavy face paint causes the zombie features to look glitchy

Why It Happens: Full-coverage white or black skull paint masks facial landmarks needed by the neural net.

How to Fix: Upload normal photos without heavy makeup. Our AI automatically layers cinematic zombie decay onto your real face.

Pro Tip: Let the AI do the zombie makeup rather than uploading pre-painted faces.

Issue: Room background appears too pitch-black with heavy noise

Why It Happens: Input photo was taken in a dark night club with heavy ISO digital noise.

How to Fix: Choose a well-lit indoor or outdoor photo. The generator will set the dark atmospheric mood automatically.

Pro Tip: Daylight portrait mode photos produce the sharpest horror transformations.

Issue: Costume accessories (wigs, hats, masks) disappearing

Why It Happens: Extreme props that obstruct the forehead or jawline get pruned by the face alignment model.

How to Fix: Wear wigs that show your full forehead and ears, or use clean unadorned portraits.

Pro Tip: Remove full-face masks or tinted eyewear before taking the source photo.
