Automated selective application of fill light filter

A non-transitory machine-readable medium including instructions stored therein, which when executed by a machine, cause the machine to perform operations comprising:

• determining an edge-preserved, smoothed version of an image;
• determining a grayscale version of the image;
• comparing each pixel of the edge-preserved, smoothed version of the image to each corresponding pixel of the grayscale version of the image to determine a comparison value for each pixel;
• determining a scaling value for each pixel based on the respective comparison value;
• and
• selectively applying a fill light filter to the image by scaling the applied fill light filter for each pixel based on the respective scaling value.

A system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions stored therein, which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operation comprising:
• determining a first modified version of each pixel of an image;
• determining a second modified version of each pixel of the image;
• determining a comparison value for each pixel of the image by comparing at least the first modified version of each pixel to the second modified version of each pixel, respectively;
• determining a magnitude adjustment value for each pixel based on the respective comparison value;
• and
• selectively applying an image filter to each pixel based on the respective magnitude adjustment value for each pixel.
