Abstract

An example computer-implemented image processing method includes receiving a digital image including a face area of a person and a background area, receiving an input parameter for modification of a feature of hair on the person, modifying the digital image based on the input parameter utilizing a generative neural network to create a modified digital image in which the feature of the hair on the person is modified, extracting a hair area from the modified digital image, and the face area and the background area from the digital image, and combining the face area and the background area from the digital image with the hair area from the modified digital image to create a composite modified digital image that includes data representing a modified feature of hair on the person from the modified digital image and data representing the face area and the background area from the digital image.
