Abstract: A method for guiding a user with a suitable composition includes detecting scene information from an input image, recognizing a scene of the input image by using the detected scene information, extracting composition information corresponding to the recognized scene, and displaying the extracted composition information. Accordingly, an apparatus for guiding a user with a suitable composition and a digital photographing apparatus using the method displays a composition suitable for a current scene by automatically recognizing the current scene, so that the user photographs the current scene quickly and easily.

Abstract: A method of controlling a digital photographing device, the method including analyzing the color distribution of an input image, determining an enhancement color from the input image according to a predetermined criterion based on the analyzed color distribution, and enhancing the enhancement color in the input image. The predetermined criterion may be that a color distributed at a ratio higher than a predetermined ratio is determined as the enhancement color. The predetermined enhancement color may further depend on the focal length of the image.

Abstract: Provided is an image processing method and apparatus. The image processing method includes: detecting a face area from an input image; and performing a color process according to the detected face area. Accordingly, expressing of a skin color is not restricted since a color to be processed with a different color and a color area overlap.

Abstract: A method of displaying scene recognition of a digital image signal processing apparatus includes generating an input image, recognizing a scene of the input image, producing a frame image corresponding to the recognized scene, synthesizing the frame image and the input image to generate an output image, and displaying the output image on a display unit.

Abstract: In exemplary scene information displaying apparatus and methods, scene information is detected from an input image, a scene for the input image is determined by using the scene information, probabilities that the determined scene corresponds to respective scene modes are calculated, and a scene information identifier including the probabilities for the scene modes is generated and displayed. Thus, users may be informed of all applicable scene modes for a current image.
