| contents | Digital beautification through social media filters has become increasingly popular, raising concerns about the reliability of facial images and videos and the effectiveness of automated face analysis. This issue is particularly critical for digital manipulation detectors, systems aiming at distinguishing between genuine and manipulated data, especially in cases involving deepfakes and morphing attacks designed to deceive humans and automated facial recognition. This study examines whether beauty filters impact the performance of deepfake and morphing attack detectors. We perform a comprehensive analysis, evaluating multiple state-of-the-art detectors on benchmark datasets before and after applying various smoothing filters. Our findings reveal performance degradation, highlighting vulnerabilities introduced by facial enhancements and underscoring the need for robust detection models resilient to such alterations. |
