Claim One:
1. A method of processing a digital image using face detection, comprising: identifying a first group of pixels that correspond to a first face image within the digital image and a second group of pixels that correspond to a second face image within the digital image; based on the first group of pixels, detecting a first skin tone of the first face image; based on the second group of pixels, detecting a second skin tone of the second face image; detecting a first attribute value of pixels that correspond to a background for the first face image; detecting a second attribute value of pixels that correspond to a background for the second face image; wherein the first attribute value is different from the second attribute value; based on the first skin tone, making a first adjustment to fill-flash of the first face image; based on the first attribute value, making a second adjustment to illumination of the first face image; based on the second skin tone, making a third adjustment to fill-flash of the second face image; based on the second attribute value, making a fourth adjustment to illumination of the second face image; and wherein the second adjustment is different than the fourth adjustment.
