I had to come look at the comments here to figure out what this thing did. I'd suggest adding a red circle around the "ripped off" area to highlight what's actually happening.

I had to think way too hard to puzzle out "Two for One" was.

Don't ask me to like something before you've given it to me. Lame.

Swap the order of the steps: first I upload my photo, then let me toggle between effects.

Make the effect copy actionable. "Tear off the bottom edge" rather than "Rip Off". "Match my profile pic to my timeline photo" rather than "Two for one." Communication > cuteness.

thanks for your thoughts - will definitely implement some changes. doing the "like to download" as an experiment, may well take it off

No problem. It's a cool idea that could gain some traction. Don't be discouraged, HN is a tough crowd :)
