1. A method of estimating a true color value for a saturated color value in digital color image data, the method comprising: obtaining a first distribution associated with all pixel locations in the image data that represents a probability of captured responses of an image capture device; detecting a saturated color value of a first color component and its location in the image data and for each detected value: deriving a second distribution representing possible true color values of the detected value from the first distribution based on at least one other color component color value at the detected location; and determining the mean of the second distribution to obtain the estimation of the true color value.
