They can't both be right

Or they both show you you're own inverted reflection and are lying to you

I didn't notice for a while that by default the camera on my Pixel 8 was using a filter that makes your eyes and lips bigger. Every time I open the camera, I have to turn off the filter because there's no way to change what the default filter is.

That's shocking. I'm currently evaluating my prejudice as that sounds like such a Samsung thing to do (as much as I hate Google and alphabet, I thought the Android crew were fairly upright)

Least mirrors don’t filter [much(?) yet(?)]

[desertdwellingweirdo@lemmy.world]

It's the camera. A wider lens will help immensely, but you'll need a dedicated camera for it. I never use my cellular camera for selfies.

Have you considered upgrading to GrapheneOS?

[socsa@piefed.social]

I find that analog reflections have a warmer, more pleasant tone.

Take a photo of yourself in the mirror. Where is your god now?

Would you fuck me? I'd fuck me. I'd fuck me so hard.

I've disabled Face Retouching (smoothing) and it stays disabled. Where is the eyes and lips filter setting?

[droggelbecher@lemmy.world]

Took me until my 20s to figure out that this is why I look like shit in close up photos. Phone cameras make my nose look suuuper disproportionately large. It's a relief that I look better irl.

[skyestarfall@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

Or maybe it's just what the camera defaults to and they don't bother changing it because why would you? Which is a more reasonable assumption than calling them delusional

The right one looks like a mii

[dragonfucker@lemmy.nz]

It is flipped. The mirror is showing you the reverse side of the card, so the image in the mirror is flipped twice. Two flips make a normal. A person looking at that card from the mirror side would see it as reversed, but the mirror flips it again so it looks normal to you.

[dingus@lemmy.world]

Imo mirror selfies do on average tend to look a lot better. I think a lot of it must be that the photo is taken from further away. This causes two things...

1. The picture isn't a detailed because the shot is simply further away. Wrinkles, acne, and other imperfections are not as clear or pronounced.

2. Features like your nose, chin, eyes, etc. appear smaller in far shots than close shots. In close shots, there is a bit of a "fisheye" effect due to the perspective, even if you aren't using a fisheye lens. It exaggerates a lot of facial features and isn't how you normally see yourself when you're looking into the mirror because you just aren't that close.

Um.. that's what I said was my assumption. But according to the comment I was replying to, people prefer the flipped version because it looks like what they see in the mirror, i.e. what they think they look like.

[implyingimplications@lemmy.ca]

The mirror is showing you the reverse side of the card

Yup! See the guy's finger is on the reverse side of the card? It's touching the N on the right side of your view. If you looked at it from where the mirror is, you'd see the guy's finger touching the N, but now it's on the left side of your view. Because you flipped, not the writing.
