Princeton University app 'makes snaps look like professional photos'

Unless you have a selfie stick or a longer than average arm, your selfies are sure to misrepresent or distort your facial features. Now, Princeton University has invented a tool that transforms photos to look like a professional photographer snapped them at a farther distance - for a more realistic shot. This editing technology can also alter an apparent pose as if the camera were placed higher, lower or at an angle for the perfect selfie to share online. Princeton University has invented a tool that transforms your original selfie (left) to look like a professional photographer snapped the image (right) at a farther distance. Princeton gathered the data from a database of 150 people that were each photographed in 20 different poses.
