1. A method comprising the steps of: capturing a digital image; offering a selection of post-processing effects for use during an image post-processing session; recording effect parameters associated with at least two post-processing effects selected during the image post-processing session, wherein the post-processing effects are image-adjustment effects and the recording comprises adding the selected post-processing effects to metadata of the digital image; storing in a custom effect file a list of the selected post-processing effects in an order in which the post-processing effects are applied during the image post-processing session along with the associated effect parameters added to the metadata of the digital image; reading the effect parameters from the custom effect file; and applying the post-processing effects and the associated effect parameters contained in the custom effect file to a subsequently captured digital image.
