4. Once you have your photo you can use the "editor" section to quickly apply and play around with different filters such as age, giving yourself a fake smile (same), changing your hair colour, giving yourself a beard or applying tattoos on your face.

5. There is also a "fun" section where you can get more HD instant filters such as a Hollywood makeover, making yourself look younger or older, or changing your facial features.
