  • receiving a plurality of images of a same scene captured by a camera;

    wherein the plurality of images comprises a particular image of the same scene, a preview image of the same scene and a postview image of the same scene;

    wherein the preview image, from the plurality of images, is an image acquired by the camera just shortly before the particular image was acquired by the camera;

    wherein the postview image, from the plurality of images, is an image acquired by the camera just after the particular image was acquired by the camera;

    wherein each of the preview image and the postview image has a resolution different than a resolution of the particular image;

    wherein each of the preview image and the postview image depicts the same objects and subjects as those depicted in the particular image of the plurality of images;
