Method of Processing and Printing Digital Images

Abstract

A method of processing and printing an image captured by a digital camera, said digital camera comprising an image sensor, a processor and a 100 millimeter pagewidth printhead connected to the processor, said method being performed within and by THE processor and comprising the steps of: locating distortions in captured images; retouching the captured images so as to reduce the effects of the located distortions to produce a retouched image; generating print data representing the retouched image; and selectively controlling nozzles across the pagewidth printhead to print the retouched image using the generated print data

1 . A method of processing and printing an image captured by a digital camera, said digital camera comprising an image sensor, a processor and a pagewidth printhead connected to the processor, said method being performed within and by said processor and comprising the steps of:
 locating distortions in captured images;   retouching the captured images so as to reduce the effects of the located distortions to produce a retouched image;   generating print data representing the retouched image; and   selectively controlling nozzles across the pagewidth printhead to print the retouched image using the generated print data.   
     
     
         2 . A method as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the locating step comprises automatically locating faces within the captured images. 
     
     
         3 . A method as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the located distortions include “red-eye” effects.
