CCP Games has acknowledged difficulties experienced by some EVE Online players when using the new portrait creator. As a result, the UI for the portrait creator has been updated to give more explanation on topics including which of the four portraits will be used in game and how to get back to the creation tool to alter the appearance of one's portrait.
A chance to recustomize
We understand that many players proceeded into game under the impression that they could come back and make adjustments later; whilst other players didn't end up with the portrait they believed they had chosen.
We want to ensure everyone has the portrait of their choice. So now that we have made the UI clearer we will give all characters who have already completed character customization a chance to recustomize. This will be a one-time recustomization to be used during the grace period.
Characters who had yet to complete customization for the first time will not need this recustomization as they will see the improved UI on their first run through the customization process.

Comments
This is a good move by CCP. I know may people who thought that they could alternate between the four portraits when they wanted. I am looking forward to the ability to re-customize characters more fully in the future. Many games offer a 'barber shop' and it will be nice to see something like tis in EVE.
I made a couple of serious protrait snapshots and a couple for fun that I would never use, and when I selected one of the serious ones to use (or at least I thought my click selected it) it was the last unserrious one (that I had made my character look snooty and disgusted and sort of like a hooligan was the one that went through... I am so glad they are giving do overs
HOWEVER
I wish that they would give multiple do overs for the grace period to make sure that bugs or accidental clicks don't ruin your portrait until Incarna is rolled out.
The whole UI should be updated. Then I'll return to play. In 1080p HD it's impossible to play without siting 10 centimetres away from the screen..
