Have you guys seen this?
I guess you can patent anything - but sorta surprises me. They do a skin tone mask in camera, smooth the edges and boost saturation selectively. Which - makes sense since secondary skin qualifications are always happening in post etc.
But they have a friggin' patent application on it? At least in camera. Well actually - there's a note in the patent about connection to a phone. So I'm guessing the intent is to put this in iPhone... and license it to everyone else?
Found it interesting because it looked like the kind of thing that could end up in EPIC/Scarlet.
