The present disclosure proposes a method of previewing a processed image, a portable handheld electronic device using the same method, and a non-transitory storage medium which stores computer programs to execute the same method in a portable handheld electronic device. The method includes displaying on the touch screen an image, displaying on the touch screen a movable effect grid which is divided into a plurality of areas according to a predetermined pattern with each area producing a different effect, performing image processing between the image and the movable effect grid to generate a first preview image which has different effects in different areas defined by the predetermined pattern, and displaying the first preview image on the touch screen.

The present disclosure proposes a method and an electronic device for detecting glare pixels of an image including an object and an electronic device using the same. The method includes the following steps. First, the image is processed to remove overexposed pixels from the image to generate a first image. The first image is processed to remove non-object pixels from the first image to generate an object pixel image. The glare pixels are detected from the object pixel image according to a saturation distribution threshold and an intensity distribution threshold. The present disclosure is able to adjust the saturation distribution threshold and the intensity distribution threshold dynamically and adaptively to satisfy various kinds of objects and ambient lighting conditions so as to improve the probability of successful detection and reduce the probability of false alarms on the glare pixels.

An image alignment method includes steps of receiving a first image and a second image; scaling the first image and the second image by a ratio to generate a first downsized image and a second downsized image respectively; determining a first offset between the first downsized image and the second downsized image; selecting a first saliency region and a second saliency region from the first downsized image and the second downsized image; determining a second offset between a first sub-region within the first image and a second sub-region within the second image, the first sub-region and the second sub-region corresponding to the first saliency region and the second saliency region respectively; determining a final offset according to the ratio, the first offset and the second offset; and aligning the first image and the second image by the final offset.
