What is he like?
The service allows anyone to change their photo effortlessly. The photograph can be subjected to torture with effects (there are 25 of them so far, including: “black and white”, “sepia”, “Style of the esteemed Andy Warhol”, gamma correction, sketches, turns, color change, etc.). Further, the user may choose a template (frame) for the image. The pattern is applied with a second layer. The collection now has more than 100 templates.
What else?
Isn't that enough? This is where the “Inscription” service comes in, allowing you to add your own inscription with a choice of headset, color, rotation and position of the inscription; “Two Images” is a service that allows you to create an avatar from two images and all the above effects and your own service templates.
