What do you think of filtered photos?
I don’t mind the odd filter but I always think that I want to see the real person not the filter.
Have you ever met someone who looked nothing like or very little like their photos as they were filtered.

I’m not much one the ones that make the skin look like blemish free plastic doll like, those ones that make eyes look massive and overly white, or the ones that pretty much change the look and shape of the face. |

I love a filter, but a light filter, I'd never adjust my body/shape/size/Stretch marks and all just change the lighting.
If people expect me monochrome in real life then that's a them problem 😂

None of my pics have filters except the black & white 1s, that seem to take my wrinkles away changing from colour to B&Q, if anybody expects to meet a 50 year old with no wrinkles, that’s on them! |

It's off putting. We saw a Women in her 40s in a club who was a regular on Fab. In her photos she looked unbelievably wrinkle free and cartoonlike. In the club she looked very different and quite unhappy. |

I'm not a fan of filters designed to actually change the appearance of someone. Doesn't seem much point having pictures up that don't look like the person.
I do chuck a monochrome on or occasionally adjust for the lighting since my purple bedroom light is sometimes too too purple on a shot. But I don't think anyone who's met me would say I don't look like my photos 💜 |

I don't like the filters that smooth the skin to make people look more youthful, looks fake....other than that I don't mind  |

B&Q that’s time for the filler & a new screw-driver to be used  |

Appearance changing filters are ridiculous.
What’s the point? Are you going to make people only look at you via the camera phone when you meet ? Although when you see people at concerts and sporting events now , that’s what they do. |

I prefer the natural look, so that you know what you're potentially going to be getting yourself into
The filtering can be kept for personal relief and magazines. But I'd be desperately happy if my mirrors could do a realtime filtering, as I get a little shocked, too frequently, when I catch a glimpse of myself  |

Tbf make up is a filter, we all wear one to some extent, if a filter makes that person happy then I'm all for it for them.
The only time I have been drastically duped, was from a 10 year old photo. I went to meet that man and walked past the person he is now as I didn't recognise him... |

"People may not use filters as such but women especially do use good angles and lighting, focusing on certain areas and cropping out others.
That's a filter.
I think I'm a woman."
Send me a full frontal naked photo and I'll let you know. |

I can apply some light filters for added effect but nothing that will heavily alter or skewer the image.
I want people to be able to accurately see what they'll be getting 😁 |

We look this good in real life - we have full heads though and aren’t always naked or in lingerie 😛
Our filters are solely lighting and cropping and removing something in a pic we don’t want it but we never change our bodies at all.

I don't think I'd call it a filter as such.
I like to see photos where someone has put a little thought in, rather than a butcher's slab flaps akimbo.
I suppose it's more about someone making an effort to me. Most people aren't freshly showered and shaved wearing their sexiest underpants most of the time, but I prefer if they'd showed up at my door that way too.
The holey underpants over a shit stained toilet might well be how they usually see their cock. But if that's how I'm going to be seeing it when they're with me, then I don't want them with me.
But I suppose everyone views it differently. |

Never applied a filter (except occasional b&w) as there is no point. When you meet you will see what people actually look like. Never want that “oh you don’t look like your photos!” aimed at us thank you!

There’s artistic - B&W, highlighting, flattering angles etc. and then there’s active filters that change your physical form… endless posed pictures, looking nothing like your real physog. Fuck this narcissistic bullshit - social media mental Illness, I avoid these messed-up nutcases. |

I dislike them.
Especially with trans.
I've seen some stunningly beautiful and feminine looking Tgirls in the photo section and then done a double take when I've seen the username and realised I actually know them and just didn't recognise the new and improved version   |

There are quite a few on here who filter themselves to have snatched waists etc. The curves in the doorframe behind them is a bit of a dead give away.
Presumably though most don't care as they're often have a lot of likes. |

Men tend to just post full on pics, with women there's lingerie, there's angles and stuff. It shows creativity maybe, but hides a multitude of sins. I'm fully guilty of it. |

I have no issues whatsoever with filters. They can enhance the overall image, create a mood effect, lighting techniques, emphasis on a certain item or object within the photo and so forth. As long as filters aren't being used to augment the subject or detract from how they look then it's all fine.
Personally, I don't care much for superimposed images, such a 'bunny ears' or speech balloons etc.

There's plenty of women that just slap it out too according to my local updates. And plenty of men around that make an effort with their photos.
The gender balance on fab obviously means I see far more half arsed cock shots than I do ham wallets, but it's a total gender divide on efforts. |

That's unfortunate. I like to fully arse a cock myself. |

I don’t mind a bit of tinkering with the colour etc.i prefer black and white myself it just looks a bit classier.
I check photos carefully as they cam be filtered to within an inch of their life!!
It has happened that i went to meet someone, looked around and went outside to text them.
My phone rang asking why i walked out!!! |

I can’t even work out how to add a line of text over the top of a photo, much less how to use filters. Turning a photo black and white or cropping it is as far as it goes. Mind you, even if I could, I wouldn’t. What’s the point 🤷♀️ |

I chop my head off and brighten my pics, I have not long worked out how to blur backgrounds that is the extent of my know how. If anyone knows of a filter to make my boobs look bigger let me know, always wondered what I would look like with boobs bigger than my head! |

Makeup is no different with all these new techniques.So do we ask everyone to go barefaced not wear stuff that enhances one figure.At the end of the day it's actually demeanor and personality having fun and really not all about looks. |
