ABSTRACT:
A method of eliminating a hot spot of a digital photograph. A light recording area for receiving a light reflected from a scene to be photographed is segmented into a grid of a plurality of squares. Each of the squares is identified with a coordinate. An exposure value of each square is defined. The exposure value of one of the squares is selected as a key exposure value. A neutral density or color with a certain degree is applied to any square that is over-exposed. The over-exposed square has an exposure value larger than the key exposure value with at least a predetermined number of stops.
