Social media as you know is used by tons of people these
days, and what do people usually post on social media? Pictures, people post
pictures about everything, but what is the most popular type of picture to
post? The infamous selfie. Selfies as you may already know are pictures that
people take of themselves so they can post it on a social media site such as
Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, etc. Selfies have become almost like an art, you
can’t just post any ordinary picture of yourself, you have to take it to the
next level by finding the perfect lighting, editing it with the best filter,
and, and cropping it in the most creative way. Since selfies have become so
popular, there have been plenty of apps created so that people can create the
perfect selfie all sorts of different ways. An article in The New York Times
listed several different apps that are dedicated to selfies, and here are a few
that were included.
The first app is a free app called “Frontback” and basically
what happens is the front camera of the phone takes a picture of the scenery
while the front camera takes a picture of you and then the two pictures are
layered together to create a different and unique selfie.
The next app is “Selfie Cam” which is also free, and it has
different features that allow you to take selfies in different ways such as
being able to use a grid for precision, or have an automatic setting that will
take the picture only when you smile.
Finally, another cool app that was listed is “Facetune”
which costs $3. This app is almost like photoshop, it allows you to smooth out
your face or erase any unwanted marks in order to make yourself look perfect.
As you can see, selfies have become epidemic and as a result
more and more apps are being created just so that people are able to create the
picture-perfect selfes.
