Yunxiu

Yunxiu, developed by the renowned imaging company Meitu, is a professional-grade AI-powered desktop software designed to revolutionize the workflow of commercial photographers and photo studios. It addresses the most time-consuming aspect of photography—post-production—by automating complex portrait retouching tasks with incredible speed and precision. Built on Meitu's advanced, self-developed AI visual large model, Yunxiu can process up to 1,000 photos in a single hour, a task that would traditionally take days of manual work. This tool is engineered to deliver natural, clean, and high-quality results, preserving skin texture while flawlessly correcting imperfections, making it an indispensable asset for professionals in wedding, children, portrait, and fashion photography.

How to use Yunxiu

The workflow with Yunxiu is designed for maximum efficiency and ease of use, even for those new to AI retouching. The process is straightforward:

1. Download and Install: The software is available for both Windows (Win7/10/11 and above) and macOS (10.15 and above). A free trial is available upon download.
2. Import Photos: Yunxiu supports batch import of images, including RAW formats. Its powerful RAW conversion engine ensures that maximum detail is retained from the original files.
3. Apply AI Presets: Choose from a vast library of professionally crafted presets for various scenes like weddings, children's portraits, family photos, and fashion. These presets automatically apply a suite of adjustments, including color correction, skin retouching, and styling, in one click.
4. Fine-Tune Adjustments: While the AI provides a fantastic starting point, users retain full control. You can manually adjust specific parameters like skin smoothing, face and body shaping (liquify), blemish removal, wrinkle reduction, and color curves to achieve your desired look.
5. Batch Export: Once you are satisfied with the edits on a reference image, you can apply the same settings to hundreds or thousands of other photos in the batch and export them all simultaneously in high resolution.
