Mixed lighting is a problem faced by photographers everywhere.
Yellowish incandescent light make people look like they have jaundice.
Harsh blue light from camera flashes make people appear pale like
zombies. Through chromatic adaptation, human perception allows us to
see the true skin tones of people regardless of the light colour
illuminating the scene. Virtually all digital cameras lack this
corrective process."Dezombify" is a semi-automated process for applying digital chromatic adaptation to large photo collections. It uses face detection to identify skin tones and recolours photographs so people appear less like the undead.
