✏️ Tutorial: Merge 2 Images for a New Style

1 - Upload an image with a face to InstantID
→ For images with multiple faces, we will only detect the largest face.
→ Ensure the face is not too small and is clearly visible without significant obstructions or blurring.
→ (Optional) You can upload another image as a reference for the face pose. If you don't, we will use the first detected face image to extract facial landmarks. If you use a cropped face at step 1, it is recommended to upload it to define a new face pose.
