Abstract

Have you ever taken a selfie and thought 'if only I could just make my eyes a little bigger?' We have all applied editing filters to photos, lighting filters to make the image brighter, sharper, darker, warmer. It has become routine to 'touch up' photos. Filter apps take this process further, allowing users to alter the image itself.
