Pending Paddy sign-off: no Face Morph output is production-approved until a real-photo Q + A comparison is checked side-by-side against the canonical master images below.
β οΈ Quality standards (Paddy directive β every output must satisfy these)
Zero noise + background REMOVED β all matting via fal-ai/birefnet v2 Portrait at 2048px (no MediaPipe staircase, no background bleed).
Clean borders β crisp uniform 12px dilation stroke, never a soft halo.
Sources prepped via Face Prep Tool β 1200Γ1200 canvas, eyes at (500,480)/(700,480), min 800px input, face β₯25% of frame.
Head-only cutouts trace the real chin/beard outline β no oval crop, no bottom scoop, no curved shortcut replacing the chin.
Production follows Paddy's sequence β source approval, cutout approval, alignment approval, controlled AI feature candidates, final slide approval.
No stage may be skipped β rejected inputs or outputs return to the previous stage.

Base feature recipe β used to build six deliberate versions
π£ = Face A π‘ = Face B The tool generates this mix plus inverse, hair-swap, eye-swap, ear-swap and nose/mouth/chin-swap versions.
Stage 2 β approve both real head cutouts
BiRefNet preserves the real outside silhouette. For each face, open the precision editor and trace one continuous head-only contour: keep all real hair, the outside of both ears, the complete jaw, full chin and beard; remove every part of the neck, collar, clothes, jewellery and shoulders. Do not use a straight crop, oval, scoop or shortcut curve. Approval stays locked until that full-resolution edit is applied.
Face A
Original
Green transparency preview
Transparent head PNG
Erase below the complete real jaw, full chin and beard until no neck, collar, clothes or shoulders remain. Restore puts original BiRefNet pixels back.
Face B
Original
Green transparency preview
Transparent head PNG
The editor works on the full-resolution alpha, not the reduced preview. Apply must be used before this cutout can be approved.
Precision head-contour editor
Trace one continuous smooth outer head silhouette. Keep hair, the outside of both ears, the real jaw, full chin and beard. Erase all neck, collar, clothes, jewellery and shoulders below that real contour. Never replace the chin or beard with a straight crop, oval, scoop or shortcut curve. Use Restore if a stroke touches the kept head. This edits the full-resolution transparent PNG.
Apply keeps the connected face/head component and automatically removes every disconnected clothing or edge fragment.
