1. A digital camera system providing customized image processing, comprising:
- an image sensor for capturing a digital image;
an optical system for forming an image of a scene onto the image sensor;
a data processing system;
a storage memory for storing captured images;
a data memory for storing image processing preferences associated with a plurality of persons, together with corresponding person recognition data useful for recognizing each of the plurality of persons using a person recognition algorithm; and
a program memory communicatively connected to the data processing system and storing executable instructions configured to cause the data processing system to implement a method for providing image processing customized according to an identified person, wherein the method includes;
capturing an input digital image of a scene using the image sensor;
analyzing the input digital image using the person recognition algorithm to identify at least one particular person in the input digital image;
retrieving image processing preferences from the data memory, wherein the retrieved image processing preferences are associated with one of the identified particular persons;
processing the input digital image to form a modified digital image according to the retrieved image processing preferences; and
storing the modified digital image in the storage memory.
