A captured image is processed with one or more correction processes selected from a plurality of such processes, each associated with correction of a specific type of image defect, in order to improve the appearance of a viewed image generated from the captured image. Preliminary to the image processing, meta data related to image capture is obtained that is unique to each captured image, where the meta data is capable of indicating whether the specific types of image defects are likely to be present in the viewed image generated from the captured image. The processing then involves predicting the presence of the image defects based at least in part on the meta data, thereby generating process application criteria which indicate a level of image defect that if left untreated would reduce the perceived quality of the viewed image; selecting one or more correction processes to employ on the captured image based on the process application criteria; and applying the one or more selected correction processes to the captured image to generate the viewed image.

A method of detecting a face in a digital image comprises generating a map from the image, the map having a plurality of elements each corresponding to a pixel of the image, and searching the map for regions of elements corresponding to regions of pixels in the image exhibiting characteristics of a face. The map may have elements corresponding only to a small proportion of the pixels in the original image. Validation of regions exhibiting the characteristics of a face may include matching against templates. Once the location and size of a face has been identified it may be passed to the control system of a camera to enable the camera to focus on that face and/or select a suitable photograph exposure to optimise the exposure of that face.
