Selfie Editor - Face Filters

I like that it only tells you where the tutorial is one time and not every time you click on it. I mainly use editing apps for acne coverage. I think the bandaid feature was cool because you could see the picture blending, but it was a little unrealistic looking because i have a lot of freckles, so it was moving my freckles around. The details feature was nice it was very subtle and not so obvious as some other apps. I like that the lips are adjustable for the lipstick feature, but the colors seem semitransparent and a little fake. The auto editor looked very fake. There's honestly not a lot of filters or very many editing options in general, and the ones currently there don't look extremely natural. The tutorials come off a bit like popup ads which can be a minor inconvenience, but as I said before, they only pop up the first time you use the feature. So, it's not too big of a hassle.

It’s not too bad for amateur mobile photo editing, if you’re willing to pay for premium features. To me it wasn’t worth the time to get everything just so and definitely not worth the money. I was only moderately impressed with auto teeth whitening. and the widening was pretty bad. It didn’t close gaps and the wider I made the teeth, the more they looked like a cheap prosthetic. Lip size only looked good if the lips were in a natural position. Extra wide, tilted smile showed minimal change. The lip color worked if the opacity was dropped significantly. Though adding color to natural lips helped with changing lip size if the size change wasn’t too drastic. Increased lip color opacity interfered with teeth whitening. Eye color was fun to play with, but getting the eyeball the right size and the eyelids in the right shape requires patience. Again, if you want a true retouch and correction the opacity has to be lowered. Patching a spot for acne and blemishes was easy and looked great on a smooth area such as the forehead. It would take some work to correct a spot around smile lines and other deep creases. For all my critiques, if you just want to play and maybe go a little goofy, it’s fun to mess around with. I can see having more success with realistic looking retouches with a lot more patience and practice. Someone who was really serious about retouching their picture and willing to invest the time and patience to get it just so, could probably get pretty good results. A quick edit to throw a picture up on a personal social media account would be more effort than I am willing to put into it, beyond covering a blemish or two.

Free version seems to work well, tho many options seem to be tuned in a way that will make you want to purchase upgrades (and it constantly begs you to upgrade features) in order to make it look more natural. But for a basic blemish smoother (which I was looking for due to a couple fun photos my gf has been embarrassed about because she had a breakout that day) I have been able to “smooth” them out tho if you zoom in it does took a bit fishy and obvious something has been altered. There is an upgrade that would allot the smoothing tool to be tailored which could allow for a more natural editor. (I’m leaving this review to have their watermark removed, and I’m still trying to get it to recognize that I have done so)
