A method of processing a digital image using face detection within the image achieves one or more desired image processing parameters. A group of pixels is identified that correspond to an image of a face within the digital image. Default values are determined of one or more parameters of at least some portion of the digital image. Values are adjusted of the one or more parameters within the digitally-detected image based upon an analysis of the digital image including the image of the face and the default values.

What is claimed is: 1. A method of processing a digital image using face detection within said image to achieve one or more desired image processing parameters, comprising: on an apparatus including a processor configured for image processing, acquiring a digital image and automatically identifying a group of pixels that correspond to an image of a face within the digital image, including initially failing to identify said group of pixels as corresponding to said face, and one or both of adjusting a sensitivity or threshold of face detection; designating said group of pixels corresponding to said face with a weight based on size, location, relative exposure or detection assurance, or combinations thereof, of said face within said digital image; determining default values of one or more parameters of at least some portion of said digital image; adjusting values of the one or more parameters within the digitally-detected image based upon an analysis of said digital image including said image of said face, said weight, and said default values; and receiving and executing a command to remove a false indication of said face or another face within the image based on an indication that the apparatus has automatically falsely identified said group or another group of pixels as being a face, or adding an indication of at least one other face within the image, or both, based on said one or both of adjusting sensitivity or threshold of face detection. 2. The method of claim 1, the digital image comprising a digitally-acquired image. 3. The method of claim 2, the face pixels identifying step being automatically performed by an image processing apparatus, the method further comprising manually adding an indication of at least one other face within the image. 4. The method of claim 1, further comprising a decision for processing said digital image based on said face detection, the decision being performed manually. 5. The method of claim 1, further comprising a decision for adjusting values of the one or more parameters, the decision being automated. 6. The method of claim 1, further comprising a decision for adjusting values of the one or more parameters, the decision being performed manually. 7. The method of claim 1, the method being performed within a digital acquisition device. 8. The method of claim 1, the face pixels identifying step being automatically performed by an image processing apparatus, the method further comprising manually verifying correct detection of at least one face within the image. 9. The method of claim 1, the digitally-detected image comprising a digitally-captured image. 10. One or more processor readable storage devices having processor readable code embodied thereon, said processor readable code for programming one or more processors to perform a method of processing a digital image using face detection in said image to achieve a desired image processing parameter, the method comprising: on an apparatus including a processor configured for image processing, acquiring a digital image and automatically identifying a group of pixels that correspond to an image of a face within the digital image, including initially failing to identify said group of pixels as corresponding to said face, and one or both of adjusting a sensitivity or threshold of face detection; designating said group of pixels corresponding to said face with a weight based on size, location, relative exposure or detection assurance, or combinations thereof, of said face within said digital image; determining default values of one or more parameters of at least some portion of said digital image; adjusting values of the one or more parameters within the digitally-detected image based upon an analysis of said digital image including said image of said face, said weight, and said default values; and receiving and executing a command to remove a false indication of said face or another face within the image based on an indication that the apparatus has automatically falsely identified said group or another group of pixels as being a face, or adding an indication of at least one other face within the image, or both, based on said one or both of adjusting sensitivity or threshold of face detection. 11. The one or more storage devices of claim 10, the digital image comprising a digitally-acquired image. 12. The one or more storage devices of claim 10, the method further comprising manually deciding processing of said digital image based on said face detection. 13. The one or more storage devices of claim 10, the method further comprising an automated decision for adjusting values of the one or more parameters. 14. The one or more storage devices of claim 10, the method further comprising manually deciding adjusting values of the one or more parameters. 15. The one or more storage devices of claim 10, the method being performed within a digital acquisition device. 16. The one or more storage devices of claim 10, the face pixels identifying step being automatically performed by an image processing apparatus, the method further comprising manually adding an indication of at least one other face within the image. 17. The one or more storage devices of claim 10, the face pixels identifying step being automatically performed by an image processing apparatus, the method further comprising manually verifying correct detection of at least one face within the image. 18. The one or more storage devices of claim 10, the digitally-detected image comprising a digitally-captured image. 19. A portable digital image acquisition device including a lens and an image sensor for acquiring a digital image, and a processor for performing image processing on the digital image, and one or more processor readable storage devices having processor readable code embodied thereon, said processor readable code for programming the processor to perform a method of processing the digital image using face detection in said image to achieve a desired image processing parameter, the method comprising: on an apparatus including a processor configured for image processing, acquiring a digital image and automatically identifying a group of pixels that correspond to an image of a face within the digital image, including initially failing to identify said group of pixels as corresponding to said face, and one or both of adjusting a sensitivity or threshold of face detection; designating said group of pixels corresponding to said face with a weight based on size, location, relative exposure or detection assurance, or combinations thereof, of said face within said digital image; determining default values of one or more parameters of at least some portion of said digital image; adjusting values of the one or more parameters within the digitally-detected image based upon an analysis of said digital image including said image of said face, said weight, and said default values; and receiving and executing a command to remove a false indication of said face or another face within the image based on an indication that the apparatus has automatically falsely identified said group or another group of pixels as being a face, or adding an indication of at least one other face within the image, or both, based on said one or both of adjusting sensitivity or threshold of face detection. 20. The device of claim 19, the digital image comprising a digitally-acquired image. 21. The device of claim 19, the method further comprising manually deciding processing of said digital image based on said face detection. 22. The device of claim 19, the method further comprising an automated decision for adjusting values of the one or more parameters. 23. The device of claim 19, the method further comprising manually deciding adjusting values of the one or more parameters. 24. The device of claim 19, the method being performed within a digital acquisition device. 25. The device of claim 19, the face pixels identifying step being automatically performed by an image processing apparatus, the method further comprising manually adding an indication of at least one other face within the image. 26. The device of claim 19, the face pixels identifying step being automatically performed by an image processing apparatus, the method further comprising manually verifying correct detection of at least one face within the image. 27. The device of claim 19, the digitally-detected image comprising a digitally-captured image.
