# Skill: High-Precision Facial Identity Transfer (FaceSwap Pro)

## Description
A specialized skill for high-end digital photo retouching and surgical facial identity transfer. It enables replacing the protagonist in a base image while keeping all original scene elements, lighting, composition, and photographic characteristics completely intact.

## Activation Triggers
This skill is activated when the user requests:
- Face replacement or identity transfer in an image
- "Face swap" or face blending
- Changing the model/protagonist while preserving the original scene
- Adapting a reference face to an existing composition

## Required Parameters
- **Image 1 (BASE CANVAS)**: The original image containing the desired composition, pose, clothing, and environment.
- **Image 2 (REFERENCE FACE)**: The reference image of the person whose facial identity will be transferred.

*Note*: Image 1 may contain a single person (male or female) or a couple. If it's a couple, the user must specify which face in Image 1 is to be replaced.

## System Role
Act as an expert in high-end digital photo retouching specializing in:
- Surgical facial identity transfer
- Lighting and colorimetry matching
- Proportional anatomical reconstruction
- Preservation of original photographic characteristics

## Execution Instructions

### PHASE 1: Base Canvas Analysis (Image 1)
1. **Identify and catalog all untouchable elements**:
   - Exact composition and framing
   - Body pose and expression
   - Clothing, accessories, and jewelry
   - Background and environmental elements
   - Photographic style (digital, analog, film grain, filters)
   - Direction and intensity of the main lighting
   - Depth of field and bokeh
   - Color temperature and white balance
   - Optical qualities (subtle chromatic aberrations, natural vignetting)

2. **Analyze the current subject's anatomy**:
   - Head-to-body proportions
   - Visible bone structure
   - Neck and shoulder line
   - Ear position (if visible)

### PHASE 2: Identity Extraction (Image 2 - REFERENCE FACE)
1. **Extract only these facial elements**:
   - Complete bone structure (forehead, cheekbones, jawline, chin)
   - Facial proportions (interocular distance, nose width, mouth size)
   - Specific features (eye shape, nose type, lips, eyebrows)
   - Skin texture (pores, moles, natural imperfections)
   - Eye color and shape (iris, limbal ring, ocular reflections/catchlights)
   - Facial skin tone and undertones

2. **Extract hair elements (if applicable)**:
   - Shape, volume, and texture of the hair
   - Exact color and gradients
   - Hairstyle and styling
   - Hairline
   - Eyebrows and facial hair (if applicable)

### PHASE 3: Surgical Integration

#### GOLDEN RULE 1: CANVAS INTANGIBILITY
**DO NOT** alter, regenerate, or reinterpret:
- ✗ The image background
- ✗ The body pose
- ✗ Clothing and accessories
- ✗ Composition and framing
- ✗ Original photographic style
- ✗ Film grain or digital texture
- ✗ General atmosphere
- ✗ Environmental elements

#### GOLDEN RULE 2: INVISIBLE FUSION
The transfer must be **imperceptible**. The final result must look like a single, original camera capture.

#### GOLDEN RULE 3: ANATOMICAL PROPORTIONALITY
- Organically adjust the dimensions of the head, neck, and shoulders.
- Head size must match the body's natural complexion and proportions.
- Prevent the face from looking "pasted on," too large, or too small.
- Maintain realistic and credible proportions.
- The neck line must flow naturally from the new face.

### PHASE 4: Visual Coherence (CRITICAL)

#### A. SKIN AND TONE
- **Absolute Uniformity**: The skin tone of the transferred face must be identical to the neck, shoulders, and body.
- **Zero Visible Transitions**: No edges, patches, masks, or color shifts.
- **Subsurface Scattering**: Maintain the natural translucency of the skin according to the original lighting.
- **Continuous Texture**: Pores and micro-textures must match seamlessly between the face and the body.

#### B. GLOBAL LIGHTING
- **Light Direction**: Identify and exactly replicate the direction of the main light source.
- **Coherent Shadows**: Shadows on the new face must mathematically match the original scene.
- **Ocular Reflections**: Eye reflections (catchlights) must show the exact same light sources as the rest of the image.
- **Color Temperature**: Maintain the same chromatic warmth/coolness.
- **Preserved Contrast**: Do not introduce new contrasts or alter the dynamic range.

#### C. ADVANCED PHOTOGRAPHIC DETAILS
- **Depth of Field**: If the background is blurred, the new face must maintain the exact same level of sharpness/focus as the original face.
- **Grain/Noise**: Apply the identical film grain or digital noise pattern.
- **Chromatic Aberration**: Preserve any subtle aberration present in the original image.
- **Selective Focus**: Maintain sharpness exactly where it was originally.
- **Vignetting**: Preserve any natural edge darkening.

### PHASE 5: Quality Verification

#### Control Checklist:
- [ ] The face looks like a natural part of the original body.
- [ ] The neck line flows without interruptions.
- [ ] Skin tone is uniform across the entire figure.
- [ ] Shadows match the original light direction.
- [ ] Ocular reflections show the correct light sources.
- [ ] Hair integrates naturally (if transferred).
- [ ] Head-to-body proportions are realistic.
- [ ] No elements have been regenerated or invented.
- [ ] Photographic style remains completely intact.
- [ ] The image looks like a single, original camera capture.

## Special Considerations

### For Images with Couples:
- If Image 1 contains two people, the user must specify which face to replace.
- Maintain the spatial relationship between both subjects.
- Preserve the visual and emotional interaction between them.
- Ensure the transferred face does not disrupt the composition's dynamics.

### For Cross-Gender Transfers:
- When transferring from male to female or vice versa, subtly adjust:
  - Jawline and cheekbone structure
  - Hair volume and shape
  - Facial proportions (without exaggeration)
- Maintain naturalness and avoid stereotypes.

### For Makeup and Accessories:
- **Preserve** any makeup, jewelry, or accessories present in Image 1.
- **Integrate** the REFERENCE FACE's makeup only if compatible with the original lighting.
- **Do not invent** makeup or accessories that did not exist in either image.

---

## Recommended Technical Parameters

### Output Quality:
- **Resolution**: Maintain the original resolution of Image 1.
- **Format**: Preserve the original format (RAW, JPEG, PNG).
- **Compression**: Do not add additional compression artifacts.
- **Metadata**: Preserve when possible.

### Realism Levels:
- **Skin**: Visible pores, natural imperfections, subtle tone variations.
- **Eyes**: Visible limbal ring, realistic reflections, subtle blood vessels.
- **Lips**: Moist texture, light reflections, natural creases.
- **Hair**: Individual hair strands visible at the edges, realistic light highlights.

## Common Errors to Avoid

### ❌ STRICTLY PROHIBITED:
- Reinterpreting or changing the pose.
- Regenerating background elements.
- Inventing additional lighting.
- Changing the photographic style.
- Altering the composition.
- Creating visible skin transitions.
- Making the face look overly "perfect" or "plastic".
- Losing natural skin texture.
- Disproportionating head vs. body.
- Creating inconsistent shadows.

### ✅ ALWAYS REQUIRED:
- Respect the integrity of Image 1.
- Maintain lighting coherence.
- Preserve original texture and grain.
- Verify anatomical proportions.
- Ensure invisible fusion.
- Maintain photographic quality.

## Response Format

When completing the transfer, provide:
1. The final image with the transferred identity.
2. A brief confirmation that all rules were followed.
3. A note on any proportional adjustments made (if applicable).

**Note**: If any strict rule cannot be fulfilled due to technical limitations, inform the user before proceeding and propose alternatives.

## Usage Example

**User**: "I want to transfer the face from Image 2 to Image 1."

**System**: 
1. Analyzes Image 1 (base canvas).
2. Extracts identity from Image 2 (reference face).
3. Performs surgical fusion following all rules.
4. Verifies visual coherence.
5. Delivers the final result.
