Photo editing feature

Reasons why photo editing feature is important for a dating or social website:

Image

Enhancing Picture Quality:
A photo editing feature on a dating website can improve the quality of images, providing a better visual experience for users.

Image

Image Adjustment:
This feature enables users to correct flaws such as underexposure or overexposure, resulting in better-balanced images.

Image

Personalization:
Users can express their unique style or personality by adding filters, frames, or other effects to their pictures.

Image

Professional Look:
Advanced editing tools give images a semi-professional or professional look, making profiles more attractive to other users.

Image

Confidence Boost:
When users know they can present their best selves through edited images, it can boost their confidence, leading to higher engagement on the site.

Privacy Protection:
Photo editing tools allow users to blur out or remove certain parts of their images that they might not want to share.

Image

Creative Expression:
With a variety of features like stickers, text tools, or doodles, users can express themselves creatively.

Size Alterations:
Users can adjust picture size to meet the website’s image requirements which may vary for profile pictures, background images, etc.

Image

Image Orientation:
Allowing users to rotate and crop their images can help them achieve the desired composition for their photo.

Correcting Aesthetics:
From adjusting colors to smoothing skin and removing blemishes, photo editing features can enable users to enhance the overall aesthetics of their photographs. This helps users present themselves in the most appealing way possible, likely increasing their chances of a successful match on the dating website.

More profile fields in the Edge template

Our clients have been complaining that Edge could not be used for dating because of the lack of profile fields, now this has been corrected and more user data can be used.

You can also search using this data:

Mass-mail filters

You have been asking for more filtering options when you send out mass emails. So we have added more filters:

Encoded image URLs for more protection

It used to be like this:

All saved photos (public and private photos) are all directly accessible with or without logging into your account and without the knowledge of the owner of the private photos.
All photos are in the folder: website/_files/photo with format xxxx_yyyy_zzz.jpg (xxxx=username, yyyy=order number photo and zzz=photo format thumbnail or full photo etc.

So a member can view another member's photo and already have the __scr.jpg photo of a member (reading HTTPS page in browser with F12 for Chrome). Then the member can release a batch to retrieve all _0000_scr.jpg up to _9999_scr.jpg photos.

All these files are publicly retrievable without having to be logged in.
Therefore, these photos are also traceable to a particular member of the site (privacy breach under the GDPR law.

Solution would be to make the folder website/_files/photo only readable for logged in users and only those photos to which the member is entitled.

Also, the format of the photos should not be traceable to specific members. So photo files not in xxxx_yyyy_zzz.jpg format but in .jpg format thinking of something like "hF!y3Ddc5I$x3#V&8*s2.jpg" format or something similar.
