Claim One:
1. A system for combining images produced by bracketed photography, said system comprising: a camera associated with a mobile computing device, the camera having a flash for activation therewith; a memory area associated with the mobile computing device, said memory area storing a flash image captured by the camera while activating the flash and a reference image captured by the camera without activating the flash; and a processor programmed to: define weight masks for the flash image and the reference image stored in the memory area, defining the weight masks including calculating coefficients for each of the weight masks by: performing histogram alignment between the reference image and the flash image, applying mismatch bias to the coefficients as a function of the performed histogram alignment, comparing redness in the flash image to redness in the reference image, and adjusting the coefficients based on the comparison; apply the defined weight masks to the flash image and the reference image; and produce a final image by blending the reference image and the flash image with the corresponding weight masks.
