Giveaway of the Day - ArcSoft Perfect365

Just saw this now. Still got 22hrs to run.
I don't have any experience of using this software, but it looked interesting enough to try out.

Just some feedback.
Having had the opportunity to play around with this proggy, it seems to be essentially a tool for prettifying/beautifying (i.e., falsifying) images of women's faces, turning them into images of faces that do not exist in real life.
I'm no expert, but I would say that it seems to do what it's designed to do, and rather well at that. You can even manipulate parts of the object's face - e.g., making the jaws wider or thinner; changing the smile, the nose.

It seems to focus on just one aspect (the face) of what you can do with Photoshop.

I see that the new Fotoshop by Adobé is the ultimate makeup

Amazing. Even works on videos, apparently.

Nice timing.  My wife just showed that one to me last night and I didn't get the link to post here before you did. :Thmbsup:

-IainB on Perfect365

-you were so right in not just saying faces, but women's faces! I have just tested it on a man's face, but Perfect365 rejected the photo, saying no face was recognized! I have used the program several times, so I know from experience, face recognition is quite good. But maybe this man's look is too different from most faces? Hmm...

Of course there is also this woman standing in front of him, but she shouldn't confuse the software, could she? I mean, her face is pointing away from the camera...
8) Did you see her?

^ Brilliant photo Curt -
it took me a while to figure it out (I was concentrating on trying to see where his mouth was, and was presuming it was a photoshop - till I looked down the image)

Yes, nifty trick shot. I saw her right away, though I momentarily at first I thought she had been superimposed on the image of the man, until I saw his right hand.
