The effect

What does the cliffside rescue effect look like?

The honest bit

What to know before you generate

  • It's a cinematic effect. The rescue is generated drama — nobody is actually on a cliff, and it isn't a real event.
  • Likeness needs a clear photo. A well-lit, front-facing, single-subject photo gives the best face match in the scene.
  • Results vary each run. The cliff, the hand and the framing change between generations; regenerate to taste.
  • Use photos you own. Only upload photos you have the right to use and share.
