AI Photography Glossary
Plain-English definitions of the AI photo terms you will run into, from headshot packs to look recipes.
AI Photo Editor vs AI Photo Generator
An AI photo editor modifies a photo you already have. An AI photo generator creates a new image. The difference decides which tool you need.
What Is a Headshot Pack?
A headshot pack is a curated set of predefined looks — background, lighting, wardrobe and framing — applied to one photo of you.
What Is a Look Recipe?
A look recipe is the stored specification behind a single generated look — its lighting, wardrobe, background and camera direction.
What Is a Selfie Reference?
A selfie reference is the source photo an image model uses to learn your face, and its quality sets the ceiling for every output.
What Is an AI Headshot?
An AI headshot is a professional-style portrait generated by a model from photos of you, rather than captured by a camera in a studio.
What Is Identity Retention?
Identity retention is how well a generated portrait still looks like the specific person it was made from, rather than a generic face.
