Having Fun With Face Changing IPhone App

By Terrie Joyner


When it comes to entertainment today, there are few devices that come into play as much as the smartphone. The iPhone is one of the biggest smartphone bestsellers and arguably offers the finest quality phone applications. One of these wonderfully enjoyable applications must be the face changing iPhone app.

There are many different variations of this application to choose from. A quick look up will provide users with a sizable number of suppliers. These applications work by allowing the user to make use of a snapped off photograph n the exercise. They can however also download one from the internet or upload from their computer.

A variation of these applications that is proving highly popular is the one that converts real images into cartoon versions of themselves. Often referred to as 'cartoonifying', this version of the apps has proven very successful with users. It allows the user to not only get a lovely version of their image in a drawn and colored format, but also utilize it on their online profiles. In this way the user can keep their identity secret and avoid exposing their real photograph online where it can be easily hijacked.

Some variations of these programs can allow for modifications to a photograph based on a popular or specially designed character. When a suitable image is selected, certain features such as clothing and physical attributes are added to reflect a certain character. This is something similar to costume parties a person attends as a well known character such as a princess, vampire or leprechaun. Many applications have only a limited number of characters in their archive.

There is also a variation that allows the user to simply contort certain features on the image. For instance with a headshot photograph, the user may be able to widen the smile and elongate the face. Most of the applications in this category are not geared towards beautifying the image but rather making it look gruesome. Often the image results look like something out of a horror movie.

Another basic option is the face swap option. Here the programs run a similar manner to Photoshop. The heads on a photograph can be exchanged. Imagine taking a photograph of a family and exchanging the heads of the parents with those of the children on the bodies.

Just as with most other applications supplied through iTunes, these face changing iPhone apps are easy to understand and use. Once the user has made funny alterations, he or she can share the results with others by forwarding to their phones or uploading onto social networking sites. You can identify the best options by checking on their rating from previous users.

Some of the face changing iPhone app can be obtained for free and do not limit the number of photographs that can be altered. The changes can be easily saved and uploaded onto the internet as this smartphone allows for easy access. It allows for similar functionality as if the user is on a laptop computer.
