Claim One:
1. A method of digital image processing using face detection for achieving desired chromatic parameters for a face, comprising using a digital image acquisition device or external image processing device, or a combination thereof, that includes a processor that is programmed to perform the method, wherein the method comprises: identifying a group of pixels that correspond to a face within a digital image; identifying one or more sub-groups of pixels that correspond to one or more facial features of the face including at least one sub-group of pixels that substantially comprise one or more skin tones; determining initial chrominance values of one or more chromatic parameters of pixels of the one or more sub-groups of pixels including said at least one sub-group of pixels that substantially comprise one or more skin tones; determining at least one initial chromatic parameter based on the initial chrominance values; and determining adjusted values of the one or more chromatic parameters of the pixels of the one or more sub-groups of pixels, including said at least one sub-group of pixels that substantially comprise one or more skin tones, based on a comparison of the initial chromatic parameter with the desired chromatic parameter.
