Flickr-Faces-HQ-Retouching (FFHQR) is a high-quality image dataset of retouched human faces. The dataset is released as part of the following paper:

AutoRetouch: Automatic Professional Face Retouching

Winter Conference on Applications of Computer Vision (WACV), 2021

The original FFHQ dataset consists of 70,000 1 MP face-aligned images that are collected from Flickr. We professionally retouched FFHQ to create FFHQR. FFHQR is the first large-scale publicly available retouching dataset. We chose FFHQ as the basis of our new dataset because of the variety of ages, ethnicity, lighting conditions, and the large number of images that could benefit from face retouching.
