How to Align Key Dots on a Face - Create Fantastic Face Composites with Multiple Images

< Back Index Next >

FantaFace Mixer can automatically extract the facial features (eyes, nose, mouth, etc.) and place key dots on appropriate positions. However, the results automatically extracted may not be accurate due to facial expression, pose variation or bad illumination. As described in Step 4, in order to get the best mixing effect, you can manually move, scale and rotate the key dots to align them to the face.

Edit Handles

After the program automatically extracts the facial features from a face, a group of key dots with 3 red editing handles as below will be placed on the face.

When you move mouse over these edit handles, a corresponding cursor will appear to indicate what kind of adjustments you can do.

Translate (): Move cursor over this square handle and drag it to translate the key dots.
Rotate (): Move cursor over this square handle and drag it to rotate the key dots.
Scale (): Move cursor over this square handle and drag it to scale the key dots.

While translating, rotating or scaling, the program will always automatically detect the better new positions for the key dots.

Edit a Dot

Move cursor over a dot and drag it to move to a new position. Especially, if you want to move the three editing handles, please hold down the Ctrl key to avoid to affect all the key dots.

Edit a Line

Move cursor over a line and drag it to translate all the key dots connected by the line. While translating the line, the program will always automatically detect the better new position for this line. Especially, if you want to directly move the line without automatically detecting new position, just hold down the Ctrl key.
