Has anyone had great success with the "Try online" option? The ones were you upload a picture, and see how the frames look.
It seems that many of these sites have very flawed programs to do this. Some have you scale your own picture or frames to suit. That is terrible! It doesn't guaranty that the frames will look anything like that on you. And some do a horrible job of cropping the frames image, and you get a white line around the edges of the glasses. The best ones I've found have you locate your pupil centers and enter your pupil distance, then scale the frames accordingly. eyebuydirect.com works this way but the rotating option doesn't allow fine enough increments. 39dollarglasses lets you print out the frame, but what a waste of time! Ideally it would work like this; you upload a picture, it would assume your eyes are horizontal from one another (but you could override it if they were not) and rotate the picture by analyzing the points you selected for your pupil centers. then you would move a vertical line above your nose to set the center of the frames. by entering your pupil distance it would ensure your picture/frame was always scaled properly. You would also be able to adjust were on your nose the glasses would sit. Then you would have one side of the screen with your picture, and the other with a list of glasses that is easily filtered to your taste. You can try the glasses, and save the image as you go, without having to jump from page to page. Then when you have enough pictures of glasses you like, you could simply view/compare all those photo's side by side, and refine your choices from there. I think I found one that worked very similar to what I described as ideal, but I can't remember witch it was. I think it was out of the UK. My question is why don't these companies make a decent "try on your own face" option? Is it too much work? It seems to me that they have already entered pictures of the glasses, and the dimensions, so it should be a snap. Is the problem in making the transparencies in frames images? Any how, I'd like to know which sites you've had the most success with trying online, and which options that I have overlooked that would make these programs better. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Check us out at the oft-updated http://glassyeyes.blogspot.com!
