Camera display reflections are an issue in bright light situations, as they may prevent users from correctly positioning the subject in the picture. We propose a software solution to this problem, which consists in modifying the image in the viewer, in real time. In our solution, the user is seeing a posterized image which roughly represents the contour of the objects. Five enhancement methods are compared in a user study. Our results indicate that the problem considered is a valid one, as users had problems locating landmarks nearly 37 enhancement method using contrasting colors is a practical solution to that problem.
