Described herein are techniques related to automatic selection of one or more digital images from a set of digital images collected from multiple image sources, such as such as digital cameras and camera-equipped mobile phones. The automatic selection is based, at least in part, upon various weighted criteria regarding properties (e.g., metadata or content) of the digital images. The automatic selection and other aspects of the techniques described herein can be performed, at least in part, in or by the so-called cloud. This Abstract is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.
