I have not fully understood or used most of the features in my new phone. Last week was a learning in using the camera on the new phone.
When we took our photos, they all came out well. However, when I took a selfie, the picture came in very different. It looked as if my skin was clear and smooth. It was not natural at all. I did not understand what went wrong.
The next few days, as I kept looking at those snaps, I felt my skin looked so odd. Yesterday, I tried to check if anyone else had the same problem on the internet. And that is when I found this stupid setting that is activated by default in the new Samsung phones called - beauty face mode.
From what I read, this "beauty face" mode is activated by default only for selfies and the bloody idiots don't even put on any indication on the phone that this mode is activated while taking a selfie. What does this mode do - it does what they call as "air brushing" (a new word I learnt yesterday!!). Basically this feature edits the photo, by making the skin look smooth😡.
Samsung apparently tries to justify it saying, they being a Korean company, had added this setting for their people who want their face to look perfect on a photo. Right, so why did you add it in phones that are sold overseas?? And why activate the feature by default.
I think this is a problem with any new device - lot of unwanted things are activated by default. Ever since I have started using the new phone, I have discovered so many such unwanted features and have switched them off by default. Phew!!!
So what did I finally do - I did not have the mood to take another snap and there was no way I could change the photo that was already taken with this mode. Being a lazy person, I decided to keep that photo for now.... until I replace it with a new one!!!
