ABSTRACT:
A method of providing composition evaluation of an image includes analyzing a composed image in accordance with one or more predefined composition rules and providing a report or warning signal if one or more of those compositional rules have been contravened. The analysis includes identifying regions of compositional significance within the image and applying the compositional rules to those regions. The compositional rules may include well known photographic composition rules such as the “rule of thirds”, ensuring that there are no large expanses of foreground or background with little or no regions of significance within them, and ensuring that the edge of the composed image does not bisect any regions of significance.
