I'd have fun with it..all my WDW pic's would show me looking far less tired than I really am...but honestly, I like the real deal images more. As a Lumix fan, it's fun.

Nice results but definitely overdone. You don't always want people in pictures looking like a glamour shot from Cosmo...it has its place but its not in snapshots.

I can see some of your male friends being none-too-happy with the Cosmo-girl makeover on them, too.

I wonder what happens with a picture of a pet, trip to the zoo? Characters at WDW? The possibilities are endless

Is this a joke? Those in camera retouched are way over the top.

(I know it is not a joke)

Canon has a similar feature on its DSLRs. It is available as a download and can be installed to most Canon DSLRs.

It's not quite as... (How do I say this nicely? LOL) "dramatic", but it conceptually does a very similar fcn.

I've used it occasionally but not very often. It's kinda one of those, "Hey, that's neat. On to the next thing." kinda things, at least it was for me.

Never underestimate the ability of manufacturers to add additional fcns to cameras that woo customers in their ads, yet really have little to no practical application in real life.

You can do a lot in Adobe Lightroom and similar programs to effectively do the same thing after the fact, but once it's shot that way, there's no way to get back to what your eyes really originally saw. Personally, I prefer to do this kind of work in post.
