Event Management
After logging into the software, you first need to create an event. Enter the event name and then click the Create an Event button.
Event Settings
First, select the mode you will use and then navigate to the Capture Options page.
Capture Options
On this page, you can configure all your camera settings. If you select Desktop Editing from the Select Camera section, you can work with existing photos on your device without connecting a camera. You can also select a camera connected to your device from the same section. Once a camera is selected, your live image will appear in the Live Preview section. You can take test photos to check the lighting conditions and your current camera settings.
When you scroll to the bottom of the page, you can adjust the camera angle. You can also configure the camera mirror settings and set the countdown time before the photo is taken.
Output Templates
When the page opens, you will see the default templates. You can use these templates if you wish, or delete all of them and create a new template only for the mode you need.
Having multiple templates in this section requires selecting a template before taking a photo. If you are not using multiple AI modes or multiple frames/templates, this is not necessary. You can delete all templates and restore them quickly at any time.
To create a template for AI FaceSwap, click the +Add & Create button.
Even if you delete the templates, you can quickly add them again from this section. For now, click the Create New button.
On the page that opens, you can name your template if you plan to use more than one. If you will only use a single template, this is not necessary. Adjust the template size from the top-left section.
When you click the button next to the size controls, multiple mode options will appear. Select AI FaceSwap and then click the Add Layer button.
Click the Add Layer button. Once the layer appears on the screen, adjust its size and dimensions.
The template dimensions are shown at the bottom of the template. Enter the dimensions as 1200 x 1800 in the left panel.
To add a frame on top of the image, select Image from the top menu and then click the Add Layer button.
After the Image layer is added on top of the template, click the Upload Image button on the left side. From here, you can upload either a frame or a logo.
After adding the logo or frame, adjust its position and scale, then click the Save button.
After completing your template, open the AI Assets page.
AI Assets
After opening the page, you will see many default images that can be used for FaceSwap. You may use these images or add new ones below them. You can create a new album, delete an existing album or all images within an album, and then add new images by clicking the Add Image button.
Note that even if you delete the default images, you can restore them at any time. You can also create multiple albums with different themes and ask your users to choose which themed album they want before taking a photo. Having more than one album is sufficient for this.
Click the Add New Gallery button to create a new album.
Enter the album name and then switch from the Default Gallery to the newly created gallery using the panel on the right side.
Click the Add Image button and bulk-select the album you downloaded from the ActivationKing website to add it to the software.
Wait for the images to finish uploading. The small preview thumbnails shown at the top indicate that the upload is in progress. Once all images are uploaded, click the Start the Event button to launch the event.
Start the Event
You can customize this screen in the software as you wish. Then click the Photo button.
Select the photo you want to use. After selecting the photo, the photo capture process will begin.
After the photo is taken, if the person does not like the result or an unwanted photo is captured, you can retake it by clicking the Shoot Again button. Once photo capture is complete, click the Continue button.
Your photo will be ready in a short time. You can share it with your guests via Email, Print, or by scanning a QR code. If you want to perform additional FaceSwap operations using the same photo, click the Use Again button. Click the Done button to return to the main screen and get ready for the next guest.
Things to Keep in Mind in AI Face Swap Mode
1) Face Visibility and Framing Issues
Common Mistakes
- Parts of the face covered by hair, hats, glasses, or hands.
- The face appearing too small or too far away in the frame.
- The face being partially outside the frame.
Correct Usage
- The face must be fully visible.
- Eyes, nose, and mouth should be clearly captured.
- Waist-up or shoulder-up shots are recommended.
2) Lighting and Image Quality Issues
Common Mistakes
- Uneven or insufficient lighting.
- Harsh shadows on the face.
- Low-resolution or blurry images.
Correct Usage
- Use balanced and even lighting.
- The face should be evenly lit.
- Capture sharp, high-resolution images.
3) Camera Angle and Face Orientation Issues
Common Mistakes
- Camera placed too high or too low.
- The face not facing the camera.
- Excessive head tilt or profile shots.
Correct Usage
- The camera should be positioned at eye level.
- The face should be facing the camera.
- Slight angles are acceptable, but profile shots should be avoided.
4) Multiple Face and Distance Issues
Common Mistakes
- Multiple faces positioned too close to each other.
- Faces overlapping or touching.
Correct Usage
- Maintain clear spacing between faces.
- Subjects may stand shoulder to shoulder, but faces must remain separated.
Face Swap Templates Featuring Adults and Children: Age Detection Warning
AI does not determine a person's age with certainty. Instead, it performs a probabilistic age estimation based on facial proportions, skin texture, facial expressions, the face's size within the frame, distance from the camera, and visual dominance within a group. Round facial features, larger eye ratios, and smooth skin may be perceived as younger, while more defined features and wrinkles may appear more mature. Faces closer to the camera may be interpreted as larger and prioritized, while clothing, accessories, and expressions can indirectly influence age perception. For this reason, in face swap templates that include both adults and children, the AI may be misled and partially incorrect age or face matching may occur.
