AI Beauty 2.0 Technology enhances “Your Beauty Expert”

Now, a person’s age, gender, skin colour and skin type differences are detected – including for up to four individual subjects – in much greater detail.
We also know everyone has his or her beauty and thanks to AI learning, now your selfies can be exactly just as you like. AI learning identifies your beautification preferences, based on the most common edits made to photo album images, and automatically creates similar adjustments to new photos.

New features are also built into the F7 making it much more attractive and fun. Vivid Mode gives the user the opportunity to play with more colour saturation of a selfie, enhancing the colour of clothes and backgrounds, for example.
