Bold metallics, sheer layers, and statement boots are essential for the desert scene this year. Capture this vibe with these Facetune features:

  • Transform instantly: Apply the Desert or Bohemian AI Selfie filters to give your photos that sun-soaked festival atmosphere with just one tap.
  • Adjust the mood: Use the classic editing tools to fine-tune brightness, contrast, shadows, highlights, saturation, and temperature to enhance the desert aesthetic.
  • Fix lighting just on faces: If the harsh desert sun created unflattering shadows, head to the Relight tool to adjust the lighting specifically on faces while maintaining the atmospheric background.

Y2K revival is having its main character moment

Baby tees, tinted sunnies, and rhinestone-studded everything are back and bigger than ever. Perfect your Y2K festival photos:

  • Set the scene: Use the Backgrounds tool to add butterfly elements for the full Y2K fantasy – these playful backgrounds instantly transport your photos back to the early 2000s.
  • Play with hair: The Hair tool lets you experiment with Y2K-inspired colors and styles – try those frosted tips or add extra shine to your butterfly-clipped locks.

How to take festival photos that highlight amazing hair trends

This year's festivals are showcasing everything from space buns to glitter-dusted roots. Make sure your hair looks festival-ready:

  • Touch up your style: If your carefully crafted festival hairstyle got messy during the event, use Facetune's Hair tools to smooth flyaways, enhance color, or add shine.
  • Try something new: Experiment with different hair colors that complement your festival outfit without the commitment – perfect for seeing how those butterfly-adorned braids would look with a pastel pink touch.
  • Enhance accessories: Use the detail tools to make hair gems, flower clips, and other accessories stand out in your photos.

How to edit concert photos with these photo-saving features

Even with careful planning, festival photos don't always turn out perfectly. Rescue those almost-great shots:

  • Fix those blinks: The Retake feature transforms any selfie fail into perfect content by fixing closed eyes and awkward expressions – essential when someone blinks during that once-in-a-lifetime artist moment.
  • Rescue dark concert shots: Low lighting at night performances can ruin great moments. Use the lighting adjustments to bring detail back to those underexposed photos.
  • Create the perfect group shot: When your festival crew finally gets together for a photo, make sure everyone looks their best with Facetune's face-specific editing tools.
