Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for performing automatic synthetic shallow depth of field (SDOF) or so-called “portrait mode” suggestions for digital image capture. In particular, these techniques aim to solve the problem of letting users of digital image capture devices know when to turn on portrait image capture modes to capture aesthetically pleasing images. If, based on the application certain criteria, a currently-composed scene is detected to be “portrait worthy,” an icon or other indicator may be provided, e.g., on a user interface of the digital image capture device. According to some embodiments, once a scene has been determined to be portrait worthy, the digital image capture device may capture a subsequent image(s) with at least one additional data asset needed to render a captured image in a synthetic SDOF or portrait mode. This will allow users to convert their digital images into portrait mode images via digital image post-processing operations.
