nice, thanks

Warning: renderscript is deprecated in Android 12.

mostLuminousColor returns positive values , but we are expecting only - values?
val isBlurry = mostLuminousColor > Color.parseColor("#CECECE") // Demo threshold
shouldnt this be isNotBlurry? since the value is bigger, means more luminous, and therefore not blurry?

@softlion any recommendation for renderscript replacement?
