Some implementations relate to determining whether glare is present in captured image(s) of an object (e.g., a photo) and/or to determining one or more attributes of any present glare. Some of those implementations further relate to adapting one or more parameters for a glare removal process based on whether the glare is determined to be present and/or based on one or more of the determined attributes of any glare determined to be present. Some additional and/or alternative implementations disclosed herein relate to correcting color of a flash image of an object (e.g., a photo). The flash image is based on one or more images captured by a camera of a client device with a flash component of the client device activated. In various implementations, correcting the color of the flash image is based on a determined color space of an ambient image of the object.

Adaptive glare removal and/or color correction

A method includes compressing an image using a quality setting, determining a quality of the compressed image based on a quality metric, and determining if the quality of the compressed image is within a quality range. In response to determining the quality of the compressed image is within the quality range, store the compressed image; and in response to determining the quality of the compressed image is not within the quality range, modify the quality setting, and repeat the compressing step with the modified quality setting, both determining steps, and the applicable in response to step.
