Engineered to make your content outshine everything else on the screen. With such supernatural bright 'light', your posts are sure to 'pop' off the feed. Lightpop Turns Your Content Into a Scroll-Stopping Masterpiece. Lightpop: • Lightpop’s proprietary technology drastically alters the true lumen brightness of your content, controlling the nits of individual pixels, making it appear brighter than anything else on-screen. This is accomplished by encoding your media in HDR and maximizing brightness values to super-natural levels, so that they can 'pop' off the screen of any compatible OLED device. Colorpop: • Our Colorpop technology increases chroma in a natural, photo-real way: enhancing color depth without overexposure or filters. Every frame glows with vibrance that feels cinematic yet authentic. The colors changes are symbiotic to brightness changes, with various Lightpop modes allowing for brightness to be adjusted based on the color of each area of your image or video. Person Extraction: • Our AI automatically detects and isolates YOU (or any person) in every frame, allowing for separate editing of the background scene and the foreground subjects. With this, you can apply rich color enhancement or brightness modification only to the background—and a much more natural effect to your skin or clothes. The result is stunning, vibrant content that looks beautifully enhanced without ever looking overly-edited. Border Configurations: • Lightpop supports ultra-bright borders to further enhance your contents ability to pop off the page. This works in conjunction with the Person Extraction technology, allowing for the border to go above the background, but beneath the primary subject, allowing you to pop further out of your content, not just with brightness, but with depth illusion. — Lightpop is compatible with images and videos. Lightpop does not limit content resolution, allowing for edits in the highest standard resolutions. Lightpop is intended for devices with OLED displays. Images are encoded in HEIC and have an optimized SDR fallback for devices without OLED display. Videos are encoded in MP4, have an optimized SDR fallback, and use PQ internally and HLG externally. All Media Encodings are designed for maximum compatibility with HDR-enabled social media platforms. — Lightpop Pro Membership Subscription Information: Lightpop is free to use for image editing.
