I turned off the "touch-up" checkbox on my video conferencing software.
I don't want to be meeting anybody in person and have them think - this dude looks terrible. Let's just set that expectation from the beginning.

- n8cpdx 5y agoMy experience is that people (including myself) are much more analytical about video and photo than they are when seeing in person. I notice every wrinkle and blemish in video, but do not perceive them IRL. In this way, I think the touch up feature is a more honest representation than having it off. It blunts the edge of my critical gaze and this reduces that distraction. In person I’m paying a lot more attention to the interaction and body language, and run out of time to eagle-eye the details. Am I alone in this?
