The flaws aren’t bugs. They’re the whole feature set.
Every retouching tool ever shipped had one job: make you look like the nine faces that tested well.
We unplugged them on purpose. The crooked tooth, the stretch mark, the stick-and-poke you did at 2am — that's not damage to be corrected. That's the whole feature set.
Pretty is a factory default. Defaults are boring. Plug your weird in and let it glitch in public.
