System and method for digital-image enhancement

A digital-image processing method, comprising the steps of:

• receiving related digital-image information;
• identifying an undesirable feature within the digital-image information;
• associating a desired feature within the digital-image information with the undesirable feature;
• replacing the undesirable feature with the desirable feature;
• and
• adjusting the image information responsible for generating the desirable feature to produce a modified digital image.

A digital-image-processing system, comprising:

• a user-interface operable to receive a plurality of commands from an operator of the image-processing system via at least one input device, the user interface configured to identify a flawed region of a first digital image and a substitute region containing like subject matter to that contained in the flawed region from a second digital image;
• a data manager communicatively coupled to the user interface configured to receive image information associated with the first digital image and the substitute region;
• and
• an image processor coupled to the data manager configured to receive the image information and generate a composite image comprising the first digital image and the substitute region wherein the image processor is responsive to an interactive interview process.

A computer-readable medium having a program for enhancing digital images, comprising:

• logic for acquiring digital-image information;
• logic for identifying an undesirable feature generated in response to the image information;
• logic for associating a substitute feature with the identified undesirable feature;
• logic for replacing the undesirable feature with the substitute feature;
• and
• logic for presenting a question to an operator of an image-processing system to determine an image-processing solution that addresses what an operator perceives as a difference between the substitute feature and the digital image.
