Claim One:
1. A method of processing a digital image, comprising: receiving an instruction to capture an image; in response to receiving the instruction, determining an angle of cant and a magnitude of the angle of cant of an image capturing device in response to an angular velocity of rotation of the image capturing device, wherein the angular velocity of rotation is derived from acceleration of the image capturing device in at least 3 distinct dimensions; determining a rotation threshold to instruct image capture by the image capturing device in a portrait orientation or a landscape orientation, wherein the rotation threshold is determined by the magnitude of the angle of cant concurrently with the instruction to capture an image; capturing the image; in response to capturing the image, rotating the captured image a number of degrees equal to the magnitude of the angle of cant to form a rotated image; in response to rotating the captured image, cropping the rotated image, wherein cropping the image comprises fitting a first bounded rectangle within a second bounded rectangle that bounds the rotated image, the first bounded rectangle defining a reduced size of the cropped image; and resizing the reduced size of the cropped image to a size of the captured image.
