Abstract

An arrangement is provided for automatically correcting a digital image by first examining the image to determine the class or type of correction that is needed to produce a more accurate rendition. The classes or types of corrections may include such items as exposure, color, depth of field, sharpness, distortion, and combinations thereof. The type of correction that is needed by any particular digital image is determined from an analysis of the image itself. Instead of presenting the user with a single corrected image, the user is typically presented with different renditions of the image. Each rendition corrects for the particular type of correction that has been identified, but in different ways from one another.
