Are you sure it was a filter or just a lower-quality front facing camera that didn't capture details in low light like blemishes and smile lines? In an effort to reduce noise, sometimes a camera over-smoothes the image - not as a way to make your imperfections disappear, but to make the noise from the high ISO shot disappear.
- jeroenhd 5y agoMy phone has a button in the camera app labeled "AI" and it does exactly this. Even in low light conditions you can see the differences between denoised and smoothed skin. It's also clearly optimized for Chinese faces, which makes for some comedic side effects sometimes when it tries to apply what seems to be the beauty standard in China to my very much non-Asian face structure. Sadly, there's no differentiation between the stupid face filter and the landscape-fixing AI. I like the AI processing for a lot of static scenes where there are no people around, because the small camera sensor simply can't catch the necessary details, but I always forget to turn it on because of the stupid face filter that comes with it.
