I have always wondered why a lot more people don’t fraud with this filter.

Then I thought maybe it’s because it barely makes a difference unless u have a horrible phenotype or coloring.

For neutral phenotypes though is there a change?

Yh it creates contrast, it only really works with the coloring your example has

Even for that colouring is there any ascension

The black and white filters works like magic for browncels, brown is such a bad color in pics.

Yeah as I mentioned for horrible phenotypes

But what about someone like guessom. He has a very neutral colouring.

How much a difference in the example I provided
Not that much, but is more eye pleasing. I was even told by female friend n her foid friend that things like avis look better in black n white

Does it change the actual face rating though?

It’s only good if you have high contrast imo
Really I thought it was the other way round. Wouldn’t someone like strijd look worse in b/w. He loses his main halo which is colouring

Yeah but I’m more so about contrast
Imagine a jeet with brown skin eyes and dark hair uses bw filter
While someone like you put oussama light skin but dark features there’s a contrast.
Same would go for someone with low contrast (like the jeet) or some Nordic with blonde hair A10s and white skin, while he has coloring halo he doesn’t have contrast, so when he goes under bw filter he’ll look worse

Yeah I get it now. So Guessosom does look better but his overall ratings the same on the dot.

My question is if people would rate the b/w higher. Cause u said it’s a halo.

I mean based off the replies it seems like everyone has agreed there’s no change in rating whatsoever but subconsciously.

Like do u think good raters would rate both the exact same still

Good raters would probably ask for a colored photo to account for coloring
But a normie would likely prefer a normal colored photo unless you’re a coloringcel with good contrast, then bw filters would mog

Would they rate the coloured photo of oussama and the b/w photo of him the exact same like u did.

I mean in the end if we averaged out 10 ratings they would be the same and maybe some prefer colour and some b/w.

Or would it be b/w by a little difference

in my opinion, the filter makes no difference.

If they’re just rating facially it’s the same
SMV included different because coloring contributes
