JAKARTA - Appearing aesthetically on social media is now part of the daily lives of the digital generation. Not only content creators, many young people are starting to get used to beautifying photos before uploading them to Instagram, TikTok, and professional platforms such as LinkedIn.
Starting from a warmer tone, natural-looking lighting, to Korean photobooth collages, attractive visuals are now considered capable of representing one's personal style in the digital world.
This trend has increased the need for photo editing platforms. However, in the midst of the many editing applications available, some users have begun to switch to web-based photo editors that are considered more practical and lightweight to use without having to fill the device's memory.
Recently, the concept of digital photobooth has become one of the visual trends that are quite popular on social media. If previously the photobooth was synonymous with a photo printing machine in a shopping center, now a similar concept is presented in digital form with a more flexible and personal appearance.
Platforms such as BeautyPlus Online Photo Editor are one of the most discussed because they provide an experience of making aesthetic photo collages directly through the browser.
"This trend is developing through various user-generated content (UGC) content that appears a lot on TikTok and Instagram, especially among young people who like to make content with friends," read the press release to VOI, Thursday, May 28.
Not just about photo collages, the current social media visual trend also makes many people pay more attention to lighting in photos. Warm tone ala golden hour, neon nuances, to cinematic low light effects are aesthetics that are widely used in social media uploads.
Therefore, lighting-based editing features are starting to be widely sought after to help improve the atmosphere of a photo without the need for professional editing skills. Virtual lighting effects with certain color nuances are now considered capable of providing their own mood on the visual results uploaded to social media.
In addition to the aesthetic visual trend, the habit of spontaneously creating content also contributes to the increased use of practical editing platforms. Users now tend to like platforms that can be accessed directly through the browser without having to download additional applications or large-sized software.
"The trend of interactive filters and augmented reality (AR) is also still part of the digital culture of young people. Funny face filters, playful effects, to visual personalization features are still widely used for casual content needs with friends," continued the information.
The development of AI technology is also increasingly affecting the way people edit photos. Recently, AI-based features have begun to be used to follow visual trends that are viral on social media, ranging from retro effects ala Korean dramas to personal color analysis related to the world of fashion and beauty.
This phenomenon shows that photo editing platforms are no longer just a tool to improve images, but also become part of the digital lifestyle and a way to express yourself on social media.
Users are also increasingly looking for platforms that are practical, lightweight, and able to keep up with the popular online aesthetic developments.
