Computational photography is basically anything that uses a digital process for a chemical or optical technique. You don't need to be using non-standard optics

Computational photography is basically anything that uses a digital process for a chemical or optical technique. You don't need to be using non-standard optics or deep learning AI techniques. It can be as simple as averaging a bunch of pictures together. HDR is computational photography, as is a panorama. I'm sure Luminar 4 has similar capabilities, but all they show is dodging and burning, beauty filters, and some sky replacement. Those technically fit the definition, but often aren't thought of as computational photography.

  It is. Browsing pictures maybe not, but certainly capturing and transforming.

  By "using a digital process", I mean altering the image rather than simply capturing it. However, every single camera phone I've ever had had PLENTY of computational photography built into it.
