Very much agree. I took RAW pictures with my Nikon on a christmas party, and even took the time to properly develop and adjust them. Still, people complained on how "old and bad" their faces looked (in pretty normal pics, nothing fancy). I attribute this to the fact that everybody is now used to phones completely editing faces and smoothing skin and adding saturation, etc., which makes us more "instagramable" although less human.

Just wait until the phones are automatically giving people cartoon character eyes...

  It's already happening. I saw an extreme eye enlarging filter accidentally applied to a video by Matt Risinger (YouTube videos about construction and homebuilding).

  They already have been giving them a dog tongue and whatnot.

  I think the iPhone is doing this with the portrait mode. It may just be the smoothing or a bit of lens fish eye creating the illusion, but I swear that all the portrait photos of me and my family have slightly larger eyes than reality.

  You mean the cartoon filter that has been around since forever? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QuRNiyjVpEM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QuRNiyjVpEM

  I worked on Paint Shop Pro a long time ago, when they first added red eye correction. It did it not by manipulating the image, but by painting an artificial eye over the original. The dialog was hellishly complex since you had to specify not only how the new eye should look but how to make it match the original. But it delivered impressive results. Last I saw, it was scheduled to be replaced with something simpler and more traditional in the next version.

    Wow! That seems like a WAY harder task.
