Summary

This introduces an open-source image editing skill called xxg-portrait-rebuild-light, which relights existing portrait photos using professional lighting techniques to avoid common AI retouching flaws while retaining authentic details.

Amazing! Bring it back to retouch photos for your wife or girlfriend, it's absolutely awesome. It doesn't redraw your face, only relights you. I've been staring at this skill for ages. xxg-portrait-rebuild-light, an image editing skill for relighting existing portrait photos. Its approach is very professional: like a director's lighting, first set the main light and exposure intent, then add fill light, reduce shadows, adjust background ambiance and color temperature, step by step. Identity, facial proportions, expression, posture, composition are all locked in place. The most remarkable thing is that it specifically addresses common issues with AI retouching: plastic feel, over-smoothing, waxy texture. It restores clean, healthy, low-contrast real skin micro-texture, preserving even lip textures and eye-area details. Choose from soft window light, Rembrandt lighting, cinematic low-key lighting, golden hour, dual-color neon, and more. You can also add a layer of physically plausible ambiance, such as window shadows, tree shadows, or background bokeh. Just use your agent's built-in image capabilities; no need to configure an additional API. It's open-source under MIT license.

Amazing! This tool is perfect for retouching photos of your wife or girlfriend — truly incredible!

It doesn’t redraw your face, only relights it. I’ve been fascinated by this skill for a while.

xxg-portrait-rebuild-light is an image-editing skill designed to add new lighting to existing portrait photos.

Its approach is highly professional: like a director setting up lights, it first defines the key light and exposure intent, then adds fill light, controls shadows, adjusts background mood and color temperature — all done layer by layer. The subject’s identity, facial proportions, expression, pose, and composition remain completely unchanged.

What’s most impressive is that it fixes common AI retouching issues like the plastic look, over-smoothing, or wax-like skin texture. Instead, it restores clean, healthy, low-contrast real skin texture — even preserving lip lines and fine details around the eyes.

You can choose from soft window light, Rembrandt lighting, cinematic low-key light, golden hour, or dual-tone neon, and even add physically plausible atmospheric effects like window shadows, tree shadows, or background bokeh.

Just use your agent’s built-in image capabilities — no extra API needed. It’s MIT open-source.
