Talk:Beauty filter

Merger proposal
I propose merging Filter (social media) into Beauty filter. I think the content in the latter article can easily be explained in a subsection of the former, and a merger would not cause any article-size or weighting issues. Mooonswimmer 19:10, 2 March 2023 (UTC)


 * Mooonswimmer, I'm not clear on what exactly you're proposing. The templates and your first sentence above indicate the suggestion is to move the content of Filter (social media) into Beauty filter, but in the next sentence you write about the "former" (Filter (Social media)) having the content merged into it from the "latter" (Beauty filter) as a subsection.
 * In any case—to me, the scopes of these articles are different. Filter (social media) is about the broad array of so-called filters used on social media—including their origins as lens simulators for landscapes and other subjects that aren't necessarily people—while Beauty filter is focused on the ones that "beautify" the physical attractiveness of people, a subject of enough importance and notability for its own article. إيان (talk) 20:07, 2 March 2023 (UTC)


 * I support the merging of Beauty filter into Filter (social media) as a subsection for now, since both articles are quite short, and if said subsection grows large enough, a separate article could be created per WP:SS. However, Mooonswimmer, as إيان said, your statement is contradictory; please clarify which article you propose should be merged into which. –CopperyMarrow15 (talk &#124; contributions) 00:32, 9 August 2023 (UTC)

Corrected the information regarding the invention of Instagram filters, including references to the patent by Patrick Levy-Rosenthal in 2007
I would like to propose a correction to the article regarding the invention of Instagram filters. The current text states that the filters were created by Cole Rise around 2010. While Cole Rise was indeed involved in designing several filters for Instagram, the foundational technology for virtual lens filters was invented and patented by Patrick Levy-Rosenthal in 2007. Here are the references to substantiate this claim: - [Patrick Levy-Rosenthal - The Inventor Behind Virtual Lens](https://metasoul.one/patrick-levy-rosenthal-the-inventor-behind-virtual-lens/) - [US Patent 20070242066A1](https://patents.google.com/patent/US20070242066A1/en) I have also located an image from 2007 showing the early use of these filters: [Image](https://metasoul.one/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/GloopitPLR2.gif). I believe it is important to accurately represent the history of this technology. I suggest the following revision to the article text: "The American photographer Cole Rise was involved in the creation of the original filters for Instagram around 2010, designing several of them himself, including Sierra, Mayfair, Sutro, Amaro, and Willow.[2][3] However, the technology for virtual lens filters was invented, patented and deployed for the first time in an application called IVBOT. by Patrick Levy-Rosenthal in 2007.[4][5]" 173.0.165.206 (talk) 21:25, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
