Claim One:
1. A digital image processing method, comprising the steps of: (A) capturing a digital image; (B) selecting at least a target pixel within said digital image according to a predetermined rule; (C) performing a first filtering on a graphic region including said target pixel and its neighboring pixels within said digital image, to generate a set of first filtered values; (D) performing a second filtering on said set of first filtered values to generate a set of second filtered values, and performing a digital image adjustment process on said digital image according to said set of second filtered values; and (E) generating a sharpness enhancement value according to said second filtered values, and determining whether said sharpness enhancement value is larger than a predetermined sharpness enhancement threshold; (F) if said sharpness enhancement value is larger than said predetermined sharpness enhancement threshold, using said sharpness enhancement value to perform an image sharpness enhancement process on said target pixel; and (G) if said sharpness enhancement value is not larger than said predetermined sharpness enhancement threshold, performing a noise suppression process on said target pixel.
