Creamy backgrounds generate bokeh envy. Smartphone companies, using artificial intelligence, have been trying to whet this appetite with portrait modes. But, now a major photo editing software is joining the fray.
Facebook-owned Instagram has decided to throw it’s hat into the ‘Portrait Mode’ game, though really this could be looked at as more of a ‘toe dipping’ than a full-on dive. The reason I say this is that the new feature, which allows users on to take ‘portrait mode’ images with computer-generated bokeh, is only available on devices which already have a portrait mode built into their system cameras.
