Photo Lab: Portrait Generator

I'm a guy. I don't take pics. Most of the photos in "my camera roll" are actually screen shots of stock graphs, instructions, reminders, etc. simply put, I'm not a giggling, 13 year old school girl, using my phone as a glorified yearbook. That said, this app amazing. Everyone still needs at least a couple "selfies," and family photos etc., to serve as; cover photos on social media sites, contact info etc. This app blew me away, there are so many options, cool effects, and apparently endless combinations (The only limit is your imagination..) Another of it's best features; simplicity. All I have to do is pick effects I think will look good, or select a pre-made template, and the app does the rest.. in seconds! The results are amazing, great effects and the accuracy is incredible. I first did the free trial. I checked out others thinking "if this was the 1st and only photo editor app I'd ever tried, imagine what's out there!" Turns out I struck gold the first swing of the axe. 3 month membership just expired, so I purchased the "1-year pro-membership." This app stays.

I love this app and I pay for the pro version but there are certainly more than a few upgrades and changes I would make. For starters more than 7 effects in a combo would be helpful (unlimited number would be best), Being able to add and remove effects from an already created combo, more customizability being able to rearrange, move, add and make effects bigger or smaller among other things. Also have a favorites tab I know there is already a recent tab but that doesn’t always keep things for very Long. Either 3 favorites tabs for the photo of the person, hair color and one for backgrounds or one for all 3. Also being able to change outfits, hairstyles, facial feature sizes/body types would be neat too. More props and more hats/headwear options too being able to add you own as well and save it as a favorite or preset effect. Finally not having photos be cut off. So being able to resize them without having to crop them would be perfect. I love this app and use it every day but some of this changes would greatly improve my overall experience with this app. I would change my 4 stars to 5 with a few of this changes added especially more than 7 effects in a combo and being able to combine certain effects more easily. Hopefully you take into consideration some of my suggestions!! 😊

I don’t really get into the whole selfie thing; I’m not a 15 year old girl that takes endless selfies and I’m not some “I’m all that” chic that can’t get over herself. My photo album is NOT full of pics of myself in front of a mirror or pics of myself where I used one of those dumb as hell selfie sticks. Actually, any pic that I have of myself, someone else took. Although, I have a great hobby combined with a small business...photography!! This app is great for artistic photography. You would not believe how many portraits I took of customers that have chosen to use at least one of the effects from this app; and it isn’t just portfolio photos that I use this app for; I have used some effects on many family portraits also; especially the holiday effects. Also great for cropping, cutting, putting text on photos, etc...overall and all around a pretty good photo app...even if you’re not a little girl or completely in love with yourself...LOL (at those peeps whose photo album has over 50% of pics of themselves...smh🤪)...Get a life, get more peeps in ur life, love/like someone other than yourself!

This is not primarily a photo editing app. If it were you would not see a bunch of pics from people on the internet when you first open it. And I saw no way to open my own pics on the device to edit them. I’m guessing maybe you need to first create an account. If somehow i’m wrong about the interface then the app is poorly designed. I shouldn’t have to hunt for controls nor need to read instructions for basic operations. Update, Jan 2018 I’m updating my rating from 1 star up to 4 stars for the following reasons. First after the developer explained the workflow (choose an effect and THEN pic your personal photo) I find this app can be fun and useful. The fact that the developer responded is also a major plus. The quality and number of effects is absolutely amazing. On the downside, since the work flow is opposite what we expect from photo editing apps, I think there should be a brief msg when first launched to explain the flow. Also, I think the steps could be streamlined to make trying out diff effects with the same pics faster.

Your photo lab I do enjoy using your app but the one thing I would like to see since there are some of us that cannot afford your packages is it would be nice to be able to watch videos and get the effect that we wish to have as a form of being able to get the effect that we wish to have on our photos without money being involved I realized that you have to have some form of making money there are some of us out there that would love to use these effects to it’s not fair to create something for the people that can afford to pay and leave the rest of us out I wish you would create a package for us that we can add our own photos and our own path to the photo even make a recording would be nice all I’m saying as a user tried to make stuff for everyone to enjoy it not just those people that can afford your package as this makes it unfair for all of us that cannot afford to buy your packages or have the desired effect that we wish to have separate because we cannot afford it maybe you shouldn’t make it available by watching a video or something like that thank you app creators sincerely app user patty
