Frequently asked questions

Why do I look different in photos than in the mirror?

The mirror shows you flipped, so a face you have seen every day looks slightly wrong the right way round. On top of that, a phone held close widens whatever is nearest the lens, usually the nose, and harsh overhead light puts shadows under the eyes. Aria looks at your photo and tells you which of those is at work.

Does Aria edit the photo?

No. She tells you what to change when you take the next one, and points you at Upscale, Open Eyes or Background Change for the things those tools fix.

Will she tell me if a photo is bad?

Yes, kindly and specifically, and about the photograph rather than you. A bad photo is a bad photo of a perfectly good face.

Aria can help with more than this. Start an open conversation with her, or read about what she can do.
