Basic User Guide
- Open HuePix Portrait on your iPhone or iPad and allow camera access.
- Choose a camera lens and select either Paint mode or Motion mode.
- Use the capture controls to shape the look before pressing the shutter.
- Press the shutter to start the exposure, move the camera or subject to create the motion effect, then press again to stop.
- After capture, refine the take with Image, Crop, Overlay, Paint, Double Vision, and Settings controls.
- Save the finished image to Photos, or keep takes in the HuePix Portrait gallery so you can reopen, favorite, duplicate, and export later.
Tips for Better Results
- Start with a clear subject and move slowly. Small camera movements often create smoother paint trails.
- Try Paint mode when you want a textured, brush-like portrait, and Motion mode when you want classic motion blur.
- Use overlays and first-frame or last-frame blending to bring structure back into a motion capture.
- Use Paint masks when you want the painted look to affect only part of the image.
- Use crop presets such as Original, 1:1, 4:5, 3:4, or 16:9 before exporting for a specific destination.
