Original Abstract Submitted
This disclosure provides systems, methods, and devices for image signal processing that support hardware-based photographic and videographic effects. In a first aspect, a method of image processing includes receiving, by an image signal processor, first image data; and determining an output image frame based on the first image data by applying a photographic effect to a first image frame of the first image data in the image signal processor. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.
