Embodiments can provide a computer implemented method in a data processing system comprising a processor and a memory, the memory comprising instructions that are executed by the processor to cause the processor to implement a system for providing profile photo enhancement, the method comprising receiving, from a specification source, one or more specifications for image acceptance criteria; receiving, from an uploading user, an image; examining, through an image processing toolbox, the image to determine if all of the image acceptance criteria are met; if all image acceptance criteria are met, accepting the image; and if one or more image acceptance criteria are not met, processing the image. Acceptance criteria can include a predetermined number of focus items, predetermined length and width constraints, predetermined color constraints, predetermined shape constraints, predetermined focus constraints, predetermined contrast ratio constraints, a predetermined number of human faces present in the image, and predetermined human face orientation constraints.
