Is there a way to use auto mode to  generate the initial face and then somehow get the higher resolution of pro mode?  I'm finding a lot of faces I generate in auto look great right off the bat but pro mode requires a ton of tweaking just to get the same result but with higher resolution. 
 Is there a tutorial out there somewhere to do this?  

Do it in two passes.

Capture in Pro mode.
Save the skin in the Content Manager.
Capture the same image again in Auto mode.
Load the hi-res you saved from the Pro mode.

Bonus: You get some hair!

Thanks. I'll give it a try.
