Abstract: An initial digital image of a person's face is transformed into a final digital image in which facial wrinkles and minor anomalies are reduced.  A  region is selected of the initial image in which facial wrinkles and minor anomalies are to be reduced. Pixels in the selected region are processed by selecting a target pixel, selecting a set of pixels, preferably randomly, that immediately surround the target pixel, examining the set to determine a maximum pixel brightness value, and adjusting the brightness value of the target pixel to correspond to the maximum value. The process is repeated with different target pixels until substantially all pixels within the selected region have been processed.  Methods are also provided for transforming facial features to emulate the effects of cosmetic procedures, and various methods are applied to the operation of digital camera to produce aesthetically enhanced images.
