A method and apparatus update a composition database for storing information for setting a composition. The method includes extracting and displaying at least one composition stored in the composition database, counting a composition selected by a user from among the at least one composition, and updating the composition database according to the result of the count. According to the method, compositions selected by a user from among compositions displayed on a screen are counted, and the result of the count is reflected on the composition database. Accordingly, compositions are displayed in a user-centered manner and photographing convenience is increased, a digital photographing apparatus automatically learns compositions preferred by a user during photographing so as to automatically display the compositions preferred by the user, and a composition based on a pattern of the user is suggested instead of a composition according to a certain place or scene.

Method and apparatus for updating composition database by using composition pattern of user, and digital photographing apparatus

An image displaying system and method in which images that are categorized according to the aspect ratio of width of height thereof are displayed in a selection window and the images are put into and edited in an editing window, and an image display system employing the method. In the system and method, the aspect ratio of height to width of a layout of the editing window is determined, images having the same aspect ratio of height to width as the layout are detected and displayed in the selection window, an image is selected from among the displayed images, and the selected image is put into and edited in the layout.

Image display system and method to identify images according to an aspect ratio of an editing layout

Provided are a digital photographing apparatus that is capable of displaying a slide show in which music and images are displayed in a harmonious manner to the user by replaying a plurality of image files according to an atmosphere created by the music by determining a replay order of the plurality of image files according to the music based on music information and image information, a method of controlling the digital photographing apparatus, and a recording medium for recording the method.

A method for guiding a user with a suitable composition includes detecting scene information from an input image, recognizing a scene of the input image by using the detected scene information, extracting composition information corresponding to the recognized scene, and displaying the extracted composition information. Accordingly, an apparatus for guiding a user with a suitable composition and a digital photographing apparatus using the method displays a composition suitable for a current scene by automatically recognizing the current scene, so that the user photographs the current scene quickly and easily.

Method and apparatus for guiding user with suitable composition, and digital photographing apparatus

An apparatus and method of printing a personal image including at least one person, and individual information corresponding to the person or location information of a place in which the personal image was captured, on respective sides of a sheet of printing paper. The apparatus and method can print the image and individual information by providing an image file comprising a personal image including at least one person and face recognition information of the person to a printing apparatus, printing the personal image on a first side of the sheet of printing paper, and printing individual information corresponding to the face recognition information on a second side of the sheet of printing paper.

Method and apparatus for printing images comprising individual information corresponding to face recognition information on second side of sheet of printing paper

Provided are a digital image signal processing method including determining a saturation condition by comparing a delta between a plurality of pieces of image data of an input image exhibiting different color components with a standard for white scene recognition, determining a bright condition by using a distribution of grey levels of the input image, and determining that the input image is a white scene when the input image satisfies the saturation condition and the bright condition, and a digital image signal apparatus for executing the method, and a medium having recorded thereon the method. Thus, a white scene is quickly and accurately determined. And settings of the digital image signal processing apparatus can be properly set for capturing the white scene.

Provided is a method of controlling a digital photographing apparatus. The method includes: determining a target subject; determining whether the target subject exists in a moving image photographing domain; determining whether a condition of temporarily stopping recording of a moving image based on whether the target subject exists is satisfied; and temporarily stopping the recording of a moving image when the condition is satisfied.

Digital photographing apparatus and method of controlling the same

A method of controlling a lens-interchangeable digital photographing apparatus including acquiring a temporary image using a first lens in response to a signal; producing additional temporary images that could be acquired were respective lenses used instead of the first lens, by processing the acquired temporary image; and displaying the temporary image and the additional temporary images on a display unit.

Lens-interchangeable digital photographing apparatus and method for controlling the same

Provided are a lens-interchangeable digital photographing apparatus that can use a suitable lens according to a photographing circumstance, a method of controlling the lens-interchangeable digital photographing apparatus, and a recording medium having recorded therein a program for the method. The lens-interchangeable digital photographing apparatus includes a photographing circumstance analysis unit, a lens suitability determination unit for determining whether a lens installed in the digital photographing apparatus is suitable for a photographing circumstance, a lens search unit for searching for lenses suitable for a photographing circumstance, and a display unit. If the lens suitability determination unit determines that the installed lens is not suitable for the photographing circumstance, lenses suitable for the photographing circumstance analyzed by the photographing circumstance analysis unit from among lenses searched by the lens search unit are displayed on the display unit to be recommended.

A digital image processing apparatus for easily obtaining information regarding a face, a method of controlling the same, and a recording medium for storing a program for executing the method. The digital image processing apparatus includes a face recognition unit recognizing a face from an image, a face index assignment unit assigning a face index to the recognized face if the face recognized from the image is not a previously recognized face, and a relation index update unit that, if the image includes a second face, updates a relation index corresponding to the number of times the first face and second face appear together in a plurality of images.

Digital image processing apparatus, method of controlling the same, and recording medium for storing program for executing the method

Provided is a method of controlling a digital photographing apparatus that displays a preview image, which is an image formed by light incident through an optical system, and a plurality of images stored in a storage medium on a main area and a plurality of sub-areas of a display panel. In the method, if a first stored image displayed on a first sub-area is selected in response to a command signal generated by a user when the preview image is displayed on the main area of the display panel, the first stored image is displayed on the main area and the preview image is displayed on the first sub-area.
