Abstract

The present application provides numerous automated processes with which to enhance the quality of digital images. The process may be easily and intuitively chosen based on the type or genre of digital image. The overall process involves first acquiring the digital image. This image may be a digital image to be edited within a photo processing software suite or acquired by a device such as a camera or scanner. Once acquired, the genre associated with the image is identified. This identification may be based on information contained within the image being imported into a photo processing software suite, may be identified by analyzing the composition and makeup of the digital image, or the actual hardware setting associated with acquiring the image with a scanner, camera or other like device. Processes corresponding to the genre are selected and applied to the image to produce a professional quality enhanced digital image.
