When the Camera Helps Out
An AI can make photos nicer all by itself. It changes brightness and colours. It also boosts the contrast. That is the difference between light and dark.
Your phone does this with every photo. The photo app looks at your picture and improves it right away.
How an AI Improves Pictures
- 1
Know the scene
First the AI works out what kind of picture this is. A landscape? A portrait? A night shot? Then it acts on that.
- 2
Clever changes
It changes something to fit the scene. It brightens dark spots. Or it makes the colours stronger.
- 3
Find faces
In a portrait the AI looks for the face first. Then it smooths the skin, for example.
- 4
Learn from examples
The AI has seen millions of photos taken by professionals. That way it learned what people find beautiful.
Here you improve a few pictures yourself. Then you see what the AI would have done.
