1. A system for content-aware enhancement of an image, the system comprising:
an interface configured to receive as input an original image; and
a processing device in communication with the interface, the processing device configured to:
(i) process the original image using a neural network to detect one or more objects in the original image;
(ii) generate an in-focus person mask of the original image for one or more in-focus people in the original image; and
(iii) apply one or more enhancements to areas of the original image excluding the in-focus person mask,
wherein the processing device generates a person mask encompassing one or more movie in the original image and an out-of-focus mask encompassing out-of-focus areas in the original image, and
the processing device generates the in-focus person mask, the in-focus person mask being a difference between the person mask and the out-of-focus mask.
