I remember that after Adobe released the 2015 versions of Photoshop CC and Lightroom CC, one of the most exciting functions will definitely be Dehaze. Dehaze can remove the phenomenon of "fogging" caused by light damage, sunlight and air pollution in the image, so that the contrast of the photo can be improved without greatly damaging the image quality. So, since Dehaze
After the launch of the function, many star photographers even use this function to clear away the "foggy" stars or galaxies at one time, creating a clearer effect.
However, Dehaze is no longer unique to Adobe, because Olympus has already published a patent for Dehaze function that can improve the definition of photos. It can divide photos into many different small areas, and automatically detect the deterioration of image quality in the relevant areas, correct the influence of smog on the highlights of the image, and reproduce the original details of the scene. If the contrast of the photo is too strong, Dehaze of Olympus
The function can also "push the dark part and lower the bright part", so as to enhance the dynamic range of the photo and reproduce more detailed parts of the photo.
As far as the patent demonstration pictures released by Olympus are concerned, it seems that the new Dehaze function may be attracted by exaggerated color expression, which coincides with the status of Art Filter. If Dehaze will only be a scene mode, Olympus really does not need to make a fuss, and it is particularly troublesome to register it as a patent.
