What's new & what to know
Aakash — here's what changed in the latest release, plus honest notes on what the tool does well, where it needs a manual touch, and what's coming next.
✨ What's new in this release
- Uniform AI face alignment — a whole class now comes out consistent: same face size (~70%), centred, and gently levelled.
- Even headroom, no clipping — the tool detects the actual top of the hair, so the gap above every head matches regardless of hairstyle, and no head gets cut off.
- Cleaner colour — brighter, sharper, with the warm/yellow cast pulled down automatically.
- Preview before download — review the whole finished class in a grid, then download the ZIP.
- Batch-first layout — the big ⚡ Open Batch action is front and centre; single-photo fixes moved to 🖼 Single edit in the top bar.
- Version badge — the version shows in the top bar so you always know you're on the latest (hard-refresh with Ctrl + Shift + R to update).
Good to know (current limits)
- Headroom is even, not identical to the millimetre. It's measured from the detected hairline, so it's uniform across a class — but very tall vs very short hair can differ slightly. Anything off can be nudged in Single edit.
- Levelling handles mild tilts. Heads that are a little crooked get straightened; a very unusual pose may still need a manual nudge with the Straighten slider.
- Face detection is strong but not 100%. Clear front-facing photos align reliably; a rare dark/low-contrast shot may fall back to a safe centred crop for you to fix by hand.
- Enhancement is automatic, not AI-regenerated. It brightens, sharpens and colour-corrects — it doesn't invent detail or smooth skin the way an AI image generator (ChatGPT/Gemini) does. See the roadmap below.
- "Upscale" adds resolution by interpolation, not true AI super-resolution — start from the sharpest photo you have.
🔒 Privacy. Every photo is processed on your own computer — nothing is uploaded, no account, no internet needed once loaded. Student photos stay with you.
