- It’s not you. Selfies distort your face.
Subscribe to our channel! http://goo.gl/0bsAjO
Your selfies might not always feel like they look like you. If that has you upset about your appearance, you’re not alone: in 2017, 55 percent of facial plastic surgeons reported seeing patients who wanted surgeries to help them look better in selfies. But that concern is often due to a visual distortion effect that makes noses look wider as a camera gets closer to a subject.
Smartphones are everywhere, and they’re playing an increasingly large role in how we perceive ourselves physically. Researchers are now trying to figure out how to design a front-facing camera that avoids that unflattering effect.

(May 13, 2018)J Depends on what you're doing. Some people need the resolution and can't afford to crop.

(Mar 26, 2018)Hint: if you screenshot a selfie with the inkwell filter, then put a moon filter on it, screenshot, then put a lofi filter on that screenshot, it becomes the Reptilian filter and you can see the creature’s true form if it is in the picture. Keep asking questions.
