iOS 12.1 arrives with ‘beauty filter’ fix and real-time Portrait depth control

02 Nov

Apple has released iOS 12.1 for iPhone and iPad on Tuesday. As promised, the update brings a fix for the “beauty filter” issue that resulted in soft selfies and debate. The new version also adds the ability to preview Portrait mode depth of field in real-time before capturing the image.

The ability to adjust Portrait mode depth of field post-capture remains, but users now have the option to adjust that depth of field before capturing the image, as well, with a real-time preview of the background blur for more control over the process.

Camera updates aside, iOS 12.1 also brings dual SIM support to the newest iPhone models, more than 70 new emoji, and Group FaceTime for chatting with up to 32 people.

You can download iOS 12.1 by going into Settings > General > Software Update.

Apple to fix ‘beauty filter’ issue with iOS 12.1 update

24 Oct

Apple’s iOS 12.1 software update will fix a bug causing the “beautygate” scandal impacting the iPhone XS and XS Max, according to The Verge. Critics have complained about overly smooth skin in selfies taken with the front-facing camera on the iPhone XS, believing it to be the result of a beauty filter akin to what Samsung uses on some of its phones.

Earlier this month, Sebastiaan de With, developer of iOS camera app Halide, had placed blame for the issue on excessive noise reduction, but The Verge reports that Smart HDR is to blame. The feature may incorrectly choose a base frame captured with a longer shutter speed, using this frame for preserving detail in the selfie.

The lack of optical image stabilization for the front camera may result in a slight blur on the frame that smooths out some details, this producing the “beauty filter” look some users have complained about. According to the report, iOS 12.1, which is currently in beta, will fix Smart HDR so that it chooses a frame captured with a short shutter speed, eliminating the issue.
