ABSTRACT:
A method of processing a digital image, including the steps of applying an initial scene balance algorithm to the digital image to produce an initial scene balanced digital image; detecting skin colored pixels in the initial scene balanced digital image, calculating a brightness adjustment amount based on a statistic of the detected skin colored pixels; and applying the brightness adjustment amount to the scene balanced digital image to produce a processed digital image having improved overall brightness.
