Loomity is an artist's tool that helps you inspect the proportions of faces in your photos. It overlays a Loomis-head over your photos so you can compare any photo with a reference. A Loomis-head is a popular reference-model for portrait-artists that helps you correctly place a face's feature. By detecting where a person's face differs from the model you can more confidently see what makes an individual face special. Loomity helps you detect these differences. It allows you to place a Loomis-head over a photo and adjust its position until it fits perfectly. With this you'll learn to see more clearly what specific features make out a person's individual face and expression.
