1. A method comprising: generating a pixel map of a digital image; scanning the pixel map and labeling a found red pixel; wherein each row of the pixel map is scanned for a red pixel; wherein a coordinate of each labeled red pixel is stored and compared to surrounding red pixels; arranging found labeled red pixels with adjacent previously found labeled red pixels thereby creating a contiguous group; determining if the contiguous group is a red-eye artifact; and creating a list of coordinates that denote red-eye artifacts within the digital image.
