- 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 and patented (the patent received 100 citations, including FaceBook, Snap, and TikTok) by Patrick Levy-Rosenthal in 2007.[4][5]" I welcome any feedback or discussion on this proposed change. 2603:8000:A700:2B9D:4044:A593:B3CC:A2AB (talk) 03:50, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
