Skill or simplicity
Photoshop gives total control if you have the skills and the hours. FutureSelf gives you 8 finished scenes of yourself without editing anything. If you want to fine-tune each image by hand, Photoshop is the better tool.
Why Photoshop isn't enough
The skills gap
Most people know what they want to see but cannot composite it convincingly.
Lighting mismatches
A face pasted into a photo usually gives itself away in the light. A drawn scene does not have that seam.
Where Photoshop is better
Control. If one detail matters, the exact dress, the exact view, you can fix it by hand. FutureSelf has no editor: you get the 8 scenes it draws.
One selfie. 8 photoreal scenes of you on one board.
Where FutureSelf is better
Effort. One selfie and a description become 8 photoreal scenes on one board, drawn by Google's Gemini image model.

Common Questions
Q.Can I edit the images after they are made?
Not inside FutureSelf; there is no editor. You can download the scenes and edit them in any photo app.
Q.Is the resolution good enough to print?
The desktop board downloads at up to 3840 x 2160 pixels, which prints well at home.
Q.Does it look photoshopped?
The scenes are drawn as whole images rather than pasted together, so there is no cut-out edge. Likeness varies by photo, which is why the first scene is free.
