In an image processing apparatus processing digitized image data taken by a digital camera, or the like, an image focused on an image pickup device is divided into a plurality of rectangular regions. A value of the lightness with respect to each rectangular region and a distribution of the color saturation are calculated by using image data. The scene of the image is judged whether it is backlighted or not by using a number of the rectangular regions having the value of the lightness equal to or larger than a threshold value. When the scene is judged as the backlight scene, it is further judged whether it is actually backlighted or not by using the distribution of the color saturation.

A system and related techniques generate and present a set of linked, dynamically interactive image processing controls for image editing and optimization tasks. In embodiments a user interface may present a set of global editing modes such as color manipulation, exposure correction or others. Each mode may contain a hierarchical set of basic, intermediate and advanced controls such as one-button automatic fixes, color or saturation sliders or editable histograms or other curves. When a user wishes, for instance, to achieve a warmer color balance or perform other color-correction tasks, the system may automatically detect adjustments in one or more parameters, such as CMYK values, and automatically adjust the values of other parameters to enhance the intended correction or action. For instance when the magenta content on a CMYK slider is increased, the color saturation may be slightly increased or color temperature may be slightly raised, to create a warmer appearance in the color cast of the image. Other combinations of image parameters may be linked. According to embodiments, a set of editable curves such as histograms or gamma curves may be dragged or otherwise adjusted or manipulated by users, and saved for re-application to other images or at other times.
