Comparison of the photo before and after applying filters: http://hvacol.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=1266 Super cool, super fast Three main unique features: 1. When using the camera icon button in this app to take a photo, the photo are automatically enhanced with a realistic portrait imaging style through multiple unique technologies, just like professional photography equipment. From the first version on July 9, 2024, to the 15th version update in March 2026, all technological breakthroughs have been completed, fully and deeply tested, making it mature and practical. This is what makes the app unique and particularly valuable: you look great in just one shot - naturally and effortlessly. This is the biggest difference from AI-generated images, which often feel mechanical and stiff. There is a 0.x second delay when taking a photo, but when shooting a single image, it’s completely negligible. However, if this technology were used for video recording, it wouldn’t work. Videos require at least 30 static images per second, and each image has a 0.x second delay... so the original plan to develop video recording with this technology was canceled. The focus is on shooting a still photo. 2. 27 art filters covering common areas: portraits, travel, seasons, Japanese style(JStyle), food... The menu can be scrolled up and down. Among them, special beauty filters: Portrait Art I and Portrait Art II – two different levels of detailed enhancement for facial skin, precise adjustments that don't affect facial features, and two different levels of background blur. Thoroughly and deeply tested: making people look more realistically beautiful. Portrait Art I Portrait Art II Spring Spring Drizzle Golden Sunset Mirror of the North Beau Vallon Beach Bohemia Cyberpunk Classic Black and White‌ JStyle Standard JStyle Mori JStyle Hamada Hideaki JStyle Refreshing Summer JStyle Sunny Winter Day JStyle Kawaii JStyle Fuji Standard JStyle Fuji Velvia JStyle Cinematics I JStyle Cinematics II Food Standard Food Latin America Food East Asia Food South Asia(Curry) Food Middle East Food Mediterranean Food Northern Europe 3. Fine-tuning Filters [ Light ] and [ Color ] menu items: Make real-time fine-tuning to any image currently on the screen. Super easy to use: Tap the camera icon button at the top right or the [ + ] button to get a photo, where the [ + ] button loads a photo from your album. Photos loaded from the album aren't processed in any way (when you take a photo with the camera icon button, the photo is automatically beautifully enhanced in a realistic portrait style using multiple proprietary techniques, like professional photography equipment). Tap the buttons on the bottom menu bar to show/hide the pop-up submenu. At any time, double-tap the screen to switch the image between full-screen fit and full fill modes. You can also use pinch gestures and other actions to freely zoom and pan the image, with a super large zoom ratio to check out photo details. Key logic: Whenever the filter sliding menu pops up, the current state of the photo becomes the initial state for all filters. You can directly compare the effects of different filters just by clicking them one after another (as long as you don't switch to adjustments or other functions in between). All filters don't affect each other. Once you switch to the Light or Color menu and make adjustments, the current state of the photo changes. The next time you open the filter sliding menu, the latest state of the photo will serve as the new initial state for all filters. At any time, the [Reset] button in the top left corner is used to quickly restore the image to the state it was in right after the photo was taken or when the photo file was first loaded. Absolute privacy: runs entirely on iPhone locally In the AI era, a photographer sticking to their craft
