Colors - One: Perceptually Based Color Photo Editing

Abstract

We introduce ‘Colors - One’, a perceptually based color photo editing app built for the Apple ecosystem. The app’s core algorithm augments standard Poisson image editing methods to allow the prediction and editing of perceived image color, rather than pixel color. Users can isolate 16 unique hues and edit the contrast color of each hue individually. The resulting photo edits are striking and provide new insights into the nature of perceptual color representations.
