Various embodiments are disclosed for image editing. A frame is obtained from a frame sequence depicting at least one individual, and facial characteristics in the frame are analyzed. A utilization score is assigned to the frame based on the detected facial characteristics, and a determination of whether to utilize the frame is made based on the utilization score. A completeness value is assigned, and a determination is made based on the completeness value of whether to repeat the steps above for an additional frame in the frame sequence based on the completeness value. Regions from the frames are combined to generate a composite image.
