Apple and computational photography
So with the new iPhone XS, the cameras on the back has received a number of
hardware updates, while most of the progress they're making is in software. And it's no wonder, really. They're heavily restricted when it comes to the hardware so any innovation needs to be on the software side. Two years ago they presented the "Portrait mode" where they used both lenses to create a 3D map of the scene and blur the background in post automatically, faking a short focusing distance. generally it works really well. This time around they even give the user control over this process, and using a slider, you can change the aperture size in post, seeing the background come into focus or blend away. They've also increased their number of exposures when you take a picture, in order to render a more detailed HDR photo -- Sandman |

Two years ago they presented the "Portrait mode" where they used both lenses to create a 3D map of the scene and blur the background in post automatically, faking a short focusing distance. generally it works really well. This time around they even give the user control over this process, and using a slider, you can change the aperture size in post, seeing the background come into focus or blend away. They've also increased their number of exposures when you take a picture, in order to render a more detailed HDR photo the future is computational photography, where what was once considered impossible is now trivial to do. |
