Digital imaging system and method for adjusting image-capturing parameters using image comparisons
First Claim
1. A method of adjusting image-capturing parameters of an image-capturing device comprising:
- capturing a first image and a second image using different settings of the image-capturing parameters;
displaying the first and second images as comparison images for user selection; and
adjusting current settings of the image-capturing parameters of the image-capturing device to conform with one of the first and second images selected by a user.

Abstract
A digital imaging system and method for manually adjusting the image-capturing parameters of a digital imaging device of the system utilizes a comparative image scheme that allows users to adjust the image-capturing parameters by selecting the most preferable image from a number of comparison images, which are produced using different settings of the image-capturing parameters. The comparative image scheme provides an intuitive technique for users to manually set the image-capturing parameters of the digital imaging device without having to learn about the image-capturing parameters and their effects on captured images.

10. An imaging system comprising:
-
an image-capturing device that is configured to electronically capture images using different settings of image-capturing parameters;
a display device that is configured to visually present a first captured image and a second captured image, the first captured image corresponding to first settings of the image-capturing parameters, the second captured image corresponding to second settings of the image-capturing parameters; and
a parameter adjuster operatively coupled to the image-capturing device, the parameter adjuster being configured to adjust current settings of the image-capturing parameters of the image-capturing device to conform to one of the first settings and the second settings in response to a user selection between the first captured image and the second captured image presented on the display device. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A method of adjusting image-capturing parameters of an image-capturing device comprising:
-
capturing a scene of interest as raw image data using an image sensor of the image-capturing device;
processing the raw image data using first settings of the image-capturing parameters to produce a first image of the scene of interest;
processing the raw image data using second settings of the image-capturing parameters to produce a second image of the scene of interest;
displaying the first and second images for user selection; and
adjusting current settings of the image-capturing parameters of the image-capturing device to conform with one of the first and second images selected by a user, the adjusted current settings of the image-capturing parameters being used by the image-capturing device to capture a subsequent image. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21)
