Check the original pattern
Locate each visible mark in the source at a useful scale. Compare another verified portrait where appropriate, allowing for lighting, age, and viewing angle. Do not decide that all dark spots are dust. Equally, a generated cluster of freckles is not supported simply because it looks natural on the restored skin.
Review changed locations
Look for marks that moved, multiplied, disappeared, or became sharply circular. Compare against nearby facial landmarks so alignment differences do not mislead you. A tiny alteration may matter to someone who knows the person. Avoid transferring a mark from another photograph unless the edit is documented and the intended position is supported.
Retain uncertain detail cautiously
If evidence is weak, leave the area soft rather than inventing a precise pattern. Record meaningful changes and keep a source reference for later review. Check the finished portrait at normal display size. The purpose is to preserve likeness, not to produce flawless skin or a highly detailed texture unsupported by the scan.
Check before finishing
- Marks are compared with facial landmarks.
- Dust is distinguished from identifying features.
