Some advanced features are also offered like noise reduction feature and Image Rendering Engine to handle large files.

Which one should you choose?
If you are solely here for the purpose of clicking selfies, then you should definitely try B612 or YouCam perfect. But if you are into professional editing you should check out the apps from Google and Adobe. I personally use Adobe Lightroom and Snapseed in conjunction. Lightroom does the tonal editing better for me and Snapseed for perspective correction if there is any.
