Abstract
Methods, apparatus, and computer readable media enhance details in a preview image for an imaging device. In one method, an image of a scene is captured with an image sensor, one or more objects of interest may be detected in the scene, a window layout for a preview window can be displayed, a composite image is generated, the composite image is displayed on a preview display. The composite image may include the captured scene along with an enhanced detail window containing the object of interest. The object of interest may be a face. The apparatus may include a touch screen display, with the position or size of the enhanced detail window changeable via gesture inputs detected on the touchscreen display. Which object of interest is displayed in the detail window may be changed from one object of interest to another through gesture inputs.
