EyeQ Imaging Inc. (EyeQ) is thrilled to announce the launch of its latest innovation: a new version of AI Skin Tone Accuracy in Perfectly Clear’s core image correction. This groundbreaking technology guarantees natural, accurate color representation across all skin tones, regardless of shade or ethnicity.
For decades, cameras have struggled with capturing infrared and inaccurate color in skin tones, leading to marginalized experiences, particularly for individuals with dark skin tones. Addressing this challenge head-on, Perfectly Clear’s AI Skin Tone Accuracy combines the power of artificial intelligence and real science to provide precise and healthy color representation for every skin tone.
“Photography wields a profound impact on shaping how we perceive ourselves, others, and the world at large,” said Brad Malcolm, co-founder and CEO of EyeQ Imaging Inc. “We’re in the business of preserving memories and ensuring their authenticity. Our new AI Skin Tone Accuracy takes our automatic image correction to the next level.”
AI Skin Tone Accuracy uses a blend of artificial intelligence and real science to detect skin tones and apply a targeted correction accordingly. A team of AI engineers, color scientists, and image quality specialists experimented and iterated until they reached a sophisticated 10-level skin tone approach.
This new technology, among other technology updates, is available as an update in Perfectly Clear ready-to-use products, SDKs, and APIs. This technology release also includes other features such as AI White Balance, a new School & Sports AI Preset Model, and an Auto Crop update. You can learn more about AI Skin Tone Accuracy here, the rest of the technology release here, or contact [email protected].

Decoding CBDCs: A Deep Dive Into Digital Currencies and Financial Transformations
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, August 9, 2023 (Newswire.com)
–
Hard Asset Management, Inc., one of the world’s largest rare coin and precious metal dealer firms, has released the latest episode of its podcast, “The Hard Asset Money Show with Christian Briggs.” This episode delves deep into the intricacies of the fast-pace rise of the Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs). Featuring insights from Congressman and Homeland Security Committee Chairman Mark Green from Tennessee, the episode sheds light on current events and offers critical perspectives for those interested in the financial world.
The episode is now available to listen:
https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/hard-asset-money-show/id1576564099?i=1000623822244
The United States has marked a significant milestone with the launch of FedNow on July 20, signaling the commencement of phase one of the country’s CBDC rollout. Unlike decentralized cryptocurrencies, CBDCs are centralized digital fiats issued by the nation’s banking system. Central banks, as the chief authorities, dictate CBDC regulations, a sharp contrast to decentralized crypto networks, which are primarily user-driven.
In this episode, Briggs discusses the political climate surrounding CBDCs, highlighting how Senators Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren are trying to get rid of decentralized digital payment platforms such as cryptocurrencies and are in favor of Federal CBDCs because they don’t want citizens to have the freedom and autonomy to transact anywhere at any time with anyone with zero surveillance. The episode also addresses recent actions by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Notably, the SEC has charged Coinbase with functioning as an unregistered securities exchange and has also lodged 13 charges against Binance for similar allegations.
The podcast culminates with a focus on the global scale. News has surfaced that the International Monetary Fund (IMF) is aggressively pursuing the concept of a global CBDC platform, suggesting the potential rise of a singular global currency overseen by a handful of unelected officials.
“In this evolving financial landscape, it’s critical for individuals to stay informed. Through our podcast, we aim to offer valuable insights and clarity on subjects like CBDCs, which are rapidly shaping the future of global transactions,” said Christian Briggs, CEO and founder of Hard Asset Management, Inc. “We endeavor to ensure our listeners are equipped with knowledge, enabling them to navigate these shifts with confidence.”
For a comprehensive understanding of CBDCs, its challenges, and global implications, tune into “The Hard Asset Money Show with Christian Briggs.”
The episode is now available for streaming.

Alt-folk-pop singer-songwriter Rachael Sage has released a colorful new companion video for “Flowers For Free” from her new 15-track full-length studio album, The Other Side (out via MPress Records). The video premiered in Ghetto Blaster and Skope (UK) and is featured currently as one of No Depression’s Fresh Tracks.
Co-produced by Sage with Grammy® winner Andy Zulla and engineer Mikhail Pivovarov, Rachael’s ’60s-influenced “Flowers For Free” is poetic pop-rock at its most adventurous. Beatle-esque wah guitar, baroque trumpet flourishes, chamber strings and Sage’s pulsing piano ground this psychedelic song about never giving up on this earthly life or into the temptation of complacency. Sage’s band, The Sequins, drives the track, with guest guitarists James Mastro (Ian Hunter) and Jack Petruzzelli (Rufus Wainwright) bringing the retro vibes.
Watch “Flowers For Free” HERE.
Filmed at Philadelphia’s Magic Gardens, singer-songwriter/visual artist Rachael Sage’s “Flowers For Free” video is three and a half minutes of pure joy. It’s also an apt landscape for a song that, as Sage reveals, is “essentially about the power of self-expression to carry us through crisis.” Directed by John Shyloski and art directed by Sage, the clip showcases the mosaic-based artwork of Isaiah Zagar, in whose colorful mosaics she immediately sensed a stylistic kinship. As she explores this otherworldly environment – playing her own hand-decorated instruments and wearing vibrant attire – the psychedelic, Beatle-esque track comes to life in glorious 3D, and the viewer can’t help but feel transported. As Sage explains: “Isaiah’s gorgeous sense of color and composition, along with his decades of local community outreach through visual art, have made me a longtime fan. It was truly an honor to be able to shoot in such a positive, uplifting urban environment. I was in heaven being surrounded by his creations, and reminded just how much color and light has the ability to shift our perspective for the better.”
Sage’s latest studio album is the most grounded of her illustrious career. The Other Side‘s 15 tracks of emotionally charged and intricately woven music recall the classic, retro-warmth of the ’70s and ’80s, and are as instantly hummable as they are lyrically poignant. With memorable Americana-infused pop hooks and folk-fueled poeticism, Sage’s timeless writing reminds us what’s most important is always worth waiting for, via songs steeped in just the right amount of best-is-yet-to-come optimism.
Blending a myriad of genres and instruments into a cohesive and captivating whole, the album’s musical collaborators include guitarists Jack Petruzzelli (Patti Smith) and James Mastro (Ian Hunter), trumpet player Russ Johnson (Elvis Costello), bassist Nick Beggs (Kajagoogoo), and guest vocals from UK pop icon Howard Jones (featured on “I Made A Case”).
The digital album, vinyl and deluxe physical CD – featuring 12 paintings by Sage, photographs by Studio 54 photographer Bill Bernstein, along with a Bonus Disc of alternate mixes – can be streamed/ordered at: mpress.lnk.to/TheOtherSide
