Abstract
A digital photography apparatus, particularly a digital still camera, includes circuit portions for acquiring a digital image, and for obtaining a compressed image. The apparatus also includes a memory for storing the compressed image. A processor is provided for obtaining a processed image and corresponding processing parameters from the image acquired. The processor supplies as an output, in a first operative condition, the processed image to be compressed by the compression circuit portion. In a second operative condition, the processor supplies as an output the image acquired to be compressed by the compression portion and the processing parameters to be stored in the memory.
