What the process looks like from the inside
BetterPicShorter and less controllable than most people expect, with one step that decides more than the rest combined.
The sequence
Upload, wait, choose. Ten minutes of work, some waiting, then a batch of portraits to pick from.
The step that decides the result
Choosing. Most of the quality difference between one person's outcome and another's lands here, because a poor selection ruins a good batch of headshots.
Budget an hour. Everyone treats it as an afterthought, and it affects the outcome more than the choice of vendor does.
The step before that decides even more
What you upload. Photographs from different days, in different clothes, in different light. Fifteen from one afternoon teach the system that your shirt is part of your face.
What to expect
A distribution rather than an answer. Some portraits will not look like you. That is normal, and the number that do is the actual measure of whether the product works on your face.
