alt Hacker NewsWhat's this, special pleading for doctored photos?
The only process in the article that involves nearby pixels is to combine R G and B (and other G) into one screen pixel. (In principle these could be mapped to subpixels.) Everything fancier than that can be reasonably called some fake cosmetic bullshit.

In that case you can't reasonably do digital photography without "fake cosmetic bullshit" and no current digital camera will output anything even remotely close to no fake cosmetic bullshit.

The article doesn't even go anywhere near what you need to do in order to get an acceptable output. It only shows the absolute basics. If you apply only those to a photo from a phone camera, it will be massively distorted (the effect is smaller, but still present on big cameras).
