Projection different from expected in Harmy
You marked the areas, chose the ml, tapped Create projection, and the image does not look like what you had in mind. Before concluding that something went wrong, it is worth following a checking sequence: almost always the cause is a detail in the photo, the marking or the expectation.
What should you check first?
Most common causes
| Symptom | Likely cause | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Change in an area that was not the main one | An extra point stayed marked | Review the marking and redo it with only what is needed |
| Barely perceptible change | Low ml or Subtle intensity | Raise the ml in steps of 0.5 |
| Exaggerated change | High ml or Pronounced intensity | Reduce the ml before touching the intensity |
| Face with an odd look | Photo with tilt, shadow or expression | Retake the photo, see standardized frontal photo |
| Asymmetric area | Natural asymmetry in the photo or face | Consider that the AI starts from the real face |
What the AI does not do
Harmy changes only the marked areas. The prompt forbids makeup, skin retouching and changes to expression, background, hair and lighting. If you saw changes in those areas, the first hypothesis is a difference in how the photo was read, not expected behavior. The projection cannot say what will happen on the real face, which is why it is illustrative.
When to redo and when to adjust?
If the cause is the photo, retake the photo. If it is the marking, adjust and create another projection. If it is the expectation, talk it through: often the patient (or the professional) expected more than a low volume delivers. For the conversation, see patient asks for more in the simulation.
If the photo is the problem, the guide bad photo in Harmy: how to improve it details light, angle and background. For recurring usage errors, there is also common mistakes when using Harmy.
Cost of redoing
Each projection costs R$ 3.99, with no monthly fee. Checking beforehand is cheaper than finding out afterward. See how much each projection costs.
Summary
A projection that is off from what you expected is, most of the time, a photo, marking or volume problem. Diagnose in that order and only then redo it.
A diagnostic example
A hypothetical example: you marked only Lips, but in the image the chin contour looks different. Before assuming an AI error, go back to the marking screen and check that the Chin did not stay active from an extra tap. Then compare the two photos with zoom: sometimes the difference comes from a small change in chin angle in the photo itself, not from the projection.
Another case: you expected an evident change in the Cheekbone and the image shows little. Check the ml (remember the value is the total of both sides), the intensity and the photo lighting. If everything is correct, what you see is the app's realistic behavior for the chosen volume. Raise the ml in steps of 0.5 before any other change.
A third case is an image that does not look like the patient. It is usually a sign of a photo with a non-neutral expression or with tilt. Retake the photo following the standardized frontal photo and compare again.
Frequently asked questions
Why did the Harmy projection come out different from what I marked?
The most common causes are a wrong point on the marking screen, ml or intensity different from what you intended, or a photo with tilt, shadow or expression that affects how the AI reads it.
Does the AI change areas I did not mark?
The goal is that it does not: the prompt forbids changing makeup, skin, expression, background, hair and lighting. If something seems to have changed, check whether the area was marked.
Does redoing the projection cost another credit?
Each projection costs R$ 3.99. Checking the marking and the photo before creating helps avoid repeating.
Can the projection look different even with the right marking?
Yes. The AI generates an illustrative image and may vary between attempts. That is why it is a simulation, not a prediction of results.
