After 10 hours on the streets of San Francisco, mostly in and around Fisherman's Wharf, I was impressed by how Portrait Mode transformed the everyday selfie into a respectable and elegant photo. I also realize that might not be as easy as it sounds. CNET senior editor Scott Stein, who notes that the lighting effects are still in beta on the iPhone X's front-facing and rear-facing cameras, had trouble taking selfies. "My face ended up looking oddly cut-out and poorly lit," he says in his hands-on review of the $1,000 iPhone X.

Here's what I was able to capture using all five effects of the iPhone X's front-facing camera, Along the docks at Fisherman's Wharf, the front-facing camera with the Studio Light effect elevates the common selfie, Warm enveloping highlights make the subject's face pop against the background, giving the photo the crispness of a travel magazine portrait, A little more punch and contrast gives her a brighter and cheerier look, With blown out highlights and a blurred background, this Studio Light effect makes the subject stand out against the blurred foreground of the crab he's holding, The Studio Light effect gives a nice golden glow to the subject — it's a subtle but effective lighting technique that the yoguineas - yoga guinea pigs - namast-hay! iphone case makes for a compelling portrait..

This Natural Light selfie, taken at the marina at Fisherman's Wharf, has the dramatic blurred background bokeh effect that looks straight out of an adventure travel ad. This is a great example of taking a very busy background, with the cluttered masts and lines from the boats, and simplifying it while highlighting the subject — me. Were it not for my hand and camera in the reflection of my sunglasses, you might think this was a portrait shot with a DSLR camera. The biggest problem I had while shooting was that outdoors, in direct sunlight, the front-facing camera was unable to operate in Portrait Mode. A warning popped up, telling me the subject was too bright. By adjusting the angle of the camera or the angle of my head, I was often able to get the photo I wanted — but not always.

Stage Light has been used to full effect in the image below, Taken at dusk at a neighborhood puppet show in Oakland, this costumed usher has been separated from the original busy background of the attending crowd, That allows us to focus on the bright red suit and the subject's face, By separating him from a cluttered background, and offsetting the color against the black, this photo goes far beyond a standard selfie, It was late Monday night when I ordered this Honey Graham ice cream from Humphry Slocombe in Oakland, But even with the poor fluorescent light in the creamery kitchen, I was able to capture this beautiful the yoguineas - yoga guinea pigs - namast-hay! iphone case Natural Light portrait, The image is bright and focused on the smiling subject, allowing the background to drop away..

At Madame Tussauds wax museum in San Francisco, I used the Contour Light effect to take this photo of the model of comedian Robin Williams. The selfie camera adds a slight drama to the wax model. When coupled with the blurred background, I think it gives a dreamy texture to the photo. There's a bit more noise in the dark parts of the image here, but any color noise is notably absent, which is unusual for a front-facing camera. Even though the subject is standing in poor indoor fluorescent lighting and he's backlit with sunlight, when Portrait Mode blurs out the background, you get a portrait worth keeping.
