At Adobe MAX last month, digital imaging researcher Sylvain Paris showed off some tech he & colleagues are cooking up in Adobe’s Boston office. Here he touches on color/tone matching between photos; more sophisticated auto-correction of color and tone (based on analyzing thousands of adjustments made by pro photographers); and image de-blurring:
Lots of other really interesting MAX sneaks are collected here.
At last we get the “Make My Images Look Like Ansel’s” button! 🙂
That de-blurring is a must have. Post-shot image stabilization!
Does it require a camera with an accelerometer though? My phone has one built-in but none of my DSLRs do. Are we going to be able to dial in the angle and strength as well (Smart sharpen style, only smarter) or does it require precise data to work?
Deblur remains the holy grail, but I could have some serious fun with that tone-matching.
will this be in PS or LR?
Looks great! So, when can we expect to see these marvels of imaging technology? CS5 was came out this year, so the earliest would be late 2012? Two years! Now, I’m sad. 🙁
product cycles are 18 month.. not?
deblur deblur deblur !
Can you provide a reference to the mathematics behind the tone mapping? Perhaps a specific academic paper.
[For the Ansel Adams filter, here’s a paper, a video, and more examples. For the deblurring algorithm, here’s more info. What Sylvain showed is described in Chapter 2. –J.]
I want these tools in Photoshop CS6 !!
Very welcome, but these tools look like me-too versions of Topaz Adjust and Topaz Infocus
