Mercifull Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 A mirror is a reflection but a webcam shows you as if you were looking at someone else.

Mercifull Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 so what i see on webcam is what other people see me like? Well yeah kinda. People generally look better in real life though. Not sure why. Lighting and shadows probably. Mercifull <3 Suzi "We don't want players to be able to buy their way to success in RuneScape. If we let players start doing this, it devalues RuneScape for others.

punk4ever Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 I think a mirror shows ALL of your imperfections because it is so clear and vibrant. However, when you take a picture or something it is a bit distorted due to the pixelation and some of the small blemishes and things on your face are not as noticable (all this in addition to the lighting, shadowing, etc.) By The_Jeppoz :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
____ Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 I don't notice much difference. Personally I think my dodge webcam makes me look better than a mirror does because the noise in the webcam kind of hides any problems :P But I don't really care either way. I seem to think I look fine either way and meah *shrug* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And no lol why do you always want to get stuff from John Lewis. Its over ̣̉300 more then than what i paid. John Lewis is a great, great shop.

Theo_Mcsod Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 the image in the mirror is the opposite of what you would see in a picture. thats why theres a difference. mirror reverses the image while a camera would just show the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theo_Mcsod Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 yeah, the whole point of a camera is that it takes the light as it is bouncing off the object (you) and makes and image as oppossed to reflecting it. simple experiment, take some kind of text and reflect it in a mirror. its backwards. take a photo, and its the same.
