My Go To Quick Fix!

Its so simple and such a time saver. Select the picture(s) youd like "perfected" (you can select up to 6 photos at a time), and with the press of a button, youre able to watch the transformation right before your eyes. Fixes red eye, whitens teeth when necessary, smoothes and tones facial skins complexion, and adjusts positioning / symmetry to the facial structure (which often does more harm than good but its easily corrected). Above all, the clarity tool is perhaps the most useful, as a finishing touch, it adds a balanced sharpness to the overall image (not just the face). Cons? It requires the images to be a certain size in order to work properly. It doesnt always detect all (or sometimes ANY) faces in photos. Another glitch that Ive only just recently been experiencing with this app is that while searching to correct red eyes, it sometimes completely misses the eye. What youre left with after is what often looks like a bad mascara job above or around the eye(s). This can be corrected. Keep in mind also that when you opt to edit or remove whatever changes youre unhappy with (for whatever reason), Ive noticed this often triggers the whiten teeth option, even when teeth are not visible. The result is a pair of white lips. Tip: always double check which effects are selected even AFTER editing changes. Once these small glitches are worked out, I fully intend to restore my original 4 star rating. Honestly, Ive accumulated just under 20 photo editing / enhancing apps, and despite the occasional glitch, I find myself using this one more than any other when Im looking to freshen / brighten skin tone, smooth blemishes, and/or simply improve the quality of an image before sharing it via Pinterest or Tumblr.
