1. A method for red-eye detection in an acquired digital image comprising:
- acquiring a first image with a portable processor-based device having a processor and an image acquisition component including a lens and an image sensor;
using the processor;
analyzing one or more partial or full face regions, or combinations thereof, within the first image, including determining one or more characteristics of the first image;
using an eye model, identifying regions of an eye identified within at least one of the regions;
identifying one or more corrective processes including iris color correction that can be beneficially applied to said first image according to said one or more characteristics; and
applying said one or more corrective processes to said first image to generate a corrected image; and
electronically storing, transmitting, further processing or editing, or displaying the corrected image, or combinations thereof.
