So the other day I found this app for my iPhone that I now love! It's called FaceApp and you can basically take a selfie in the app or choose one you have already taken and it will automatically modify it to make you look older, younger or even change your gender. It will do it based on your facial features. So I tried and loved the result, but I had to check how accurate it was and used the "old" filter and it made me look exactly like my dad!! LOL...So I think the app is lovely! Especially for all of us pre transition to help us know how we might look when we do it. I don't really know if it's available for android though.
Thought I might share this with you guys :)
Yes it is, I love it, but is sneaky. Eyebrow lift, pupil dilatation, bigger eyes, eyelid lift. It takesa whole lot of surgery + bela donna eye drops to get you there

Yea not really made for that use ^^ still would be intresting to save those pictures and compare with one year after hrt
Some results from this app have been making the rounds here for a few weeks (at least). I find it interesting trying to figure out what it does to feminize the face.
- skin and hair smoothing
- eye brow shape and position
- eye shape?
- face width
- cheek fullness
Yeah here's what it did for me. Most notable is more hair and definitely made me younger. I'll be super double extra thrilled if I ever look like that.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170424/2349b151efe9a15c7bb27c5f8fe50214.jpg)

Drop a 40 px grid over the images and compare. You will have a better idea of where the changes in the face are. There are a lot of subtle changes in that algorithm and the symmetry is perfect. It might be fun, but those changes would be difficult to duplicate with FFS.

This app seems like it sets us up for disappointment. I'd rather not see a faked version of myself.

Not to mention that our selfies are probably being stored out there somewhere, conveniently linked to our identities.

Really? I thought the changes were very subtle but at the same time effective.
Yes, subtle, but nevertheless! Cheating by making pupils larger, and my eyes and mouth are larger, and my brows higher.

I look a bit like my older sister. I would love to look this good. Just wish you could save the pics.
I tried it, it is great, now just have to go back 40 years to look like that ahahaha

Was able to save mine. There is a down arrow next to the share options that will save to phone. Need to have all four filled in the collage or change to duo first to get just the 2.

I must admit, I looked weird to say the least...my head went all roundish (think Stewie from Family guy)and my eyes look like they are going to bug out of my head..but I did look younger Ha ha
I did the reverse and did the male one...haha now that was funny...I guess HRT has made far more changes than I realise... ;D
Cant find it in AppStore under that name: faceapp

That's how I felt as well lol. It gave me a confidence boost.
I wish that it would let me do the female filter without using the collage. But I think it's a great confidence booster like the ladies above said.

Russia, and regardless of location, that's why I've not tried it.

Aha. That's the other thing I couldn't put my finger on. Noticed that a lot when playing with the app and made the female version younger. Face got smaller but hair didn't. Had some of the Stewie Griffin effect that some one else mentioned.

I tried it and I went from white man to Asian woman...?!?!?!? I am hoping I don't look very Asian if I transition lol. Nothing against Asian people just want to remain my ethnicity XD
Great, it's exactly what I wish I looked like but can never actually achieve and it makes me cry because I can't. Fun. :'(
I messed around some more with that app and it's amazing how different it makes you look depending on how your hair is in the before picture.
Also my back camera makes me look better than using my front, guess it's better quality, also lighting.
It's a fun little app I guess.

I'm thinking it's what I would have looked like about 20 years ago if I had been born with the proper body.

Looool! I think it depends on the pic you use as well. I've tried several times and for example when using the young filter it has made me look like a did when I was a teen so try different pics.
I know its supposed to be a fun app.
But with GD I find it kinda makes me feel worse about myself :S
Though its not impossible to acheive a look similar. It doesn't seem to go too extreme.
I wish the results for me were better lol
I tried a really old pic it was really good but when I tried a selfie nothing changed...

I use Portrait Pro 15. I could also use GIMP an open source version of Photoshop. PP is much easier although it does cost to purchase. You can get a free 30 day download. But the results can be spot on or highly exaggerated, just needs practice. I've made the offer before and if you would like to see what it can do with your picture send me a PM. I'll be more than happy to take a shot at it.
As someone who doesn't anticipate transitioning, it was almost a spiritual moment for me seeing the photo of my female self! Since I was a small child I dreamed of being a girl and to finally see this picture, even if it was computer-generated, was as if I finally met the female version of me.
It was something I could share with others who have no idea I'm transgender and many of the comments were very positive about me being pretty or beautiful.
I realize it's not realistic of how I would look today if I were to transition, but there was enough of the current me in the picture to see what might have been had I started this journey as a young woman.
Hahaha. There was a huge differance in the female pic of me. The male pic only had a tiny bit broader jaw structure. Fun app. Need to try it some more.
I'm really glad to see you all talking about this.
Becky, I had a similar experience. I had seen people playing with the app and laughing at it, so then I tried it out and it took my breath away. I was just utterly blown away by what I saw. I then became obsessed with the app, taking 20-30 selfies a day. This is something I never do, I rarely take pictures of myself, and I don't look in the mirror much, but I just had to keep trying to see these pictures of me as a woman. Something I had written off as impossible and suppressed.
I've only recently started to cool down on this app, because it is full of problems. It always wants to lighten my hair, make my eyes bigger, and shrink my chin and neck. After looking at some of my favorite pictures for a while, I've ended up deleting them because they are just too distorted. I try sometimes to break the system and make sure it acknowledges my chin as it is, eyes as they are, but I can only do so much. It seems to me that it's time to just stop using this thing, because it hurts when I see an image and then believe it to be impossible. The opposite effect of why I started using this app in the first place.
That all being said, I am thankful for the good moments it brought. I am thankful that it made me actually want to take pictures of myself, and to smile and be expressive. I'm thankful for some of the Female-Face images it gave me, the ones that really resonated, that made me say "That's me!" I keep some of them in my heart, and I have at times been able to carry them with me in my day to day. To allow 'her' to be the one who is talking, walking and being 'me,' even if I am full-time cis presenting.
I have a long road ahead of me. I am thankful for this face app, but i am also very wary. It can be addicting and ultimately deliver empty promises.
Oh my goodness. That's so fun. I look like a baby doll on my fem 2. And my brother on male. Gross on the old part haha

I tried it and honestly all it did was depress me.
When I selected "male" it totally altered every part of my face but with "female" it looked essentially the same.
Even the app sees through me.

It's either a great or terrible thing. I cried first time I used. Happy, then sad because it wasn't real. I do it every couple of days
I played around with the app a bit. I still look like a mules butt.
