Claim One:
1. An apparatus comprising: an image sensor that captures image data of a photographic subject matter; a processor; and a memory that stores code executable by the processor to: calculate a first exposure value for the photographic subject matter, wherein the first exposure value is calculated from the photographic subject matter as a whole; determine whether a face is present within the photographic subject matter; calculate a second exposure value in response to determining that a face is present within the photographic subject matter, wherein the second exposure value is calculated to expose the face; capture a first image using the first exposure value; capture a second image using the second exposure value; and create a third image from the first image and the second image, wherein creating the third image from the first image and the second image comprises the processor: determining whether a background region of the second image is overblown; compositing the first image and second image to form the third image in response to the background region of the second image being overblown; and discarding the first image and saving the second image as the third image in response to the background region of the second image not being overblown.
