Abstract: Presented is a digital camera, comprising:

a sensor (205) for sensing an image and producing a first signal;
a Bayer pattern producer (210) coupled to said sensor (205) and structured to produce a Bayer pattern from said first signal;
a splitter (212) structured to split said Bayer pattern into separate color channels;
a compressor (220) for compressing said color channels into a compressed image;
an output interface (226) structured to transmit said compressed image on a communication channel; and
a color interpreter structured to perform a modification on exactly one of said color channels from said splitter (212) prior to sending said color channels to said compressor (220).

Additionally described is a network that operates with said digital camera to perform certain functions, as directed by a user of said digital camera.
