20100086234 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PRESERVING EDITING HISTORY IN AN IN-BROWSER PHOTO-EDITING APPLICATION - A system and method for preserving and retrieving editing history of a digital image. One method includes identifying a user of an in-browser photo-editing application, retrieving a plurality of digital photographs from a data store, the plurality of digital photographs associated with at least one previous photo-editing session of the identified user, and presenting selectable images of the retrieved digital photographs on a display, each image having an associated editing history. Such a system and method provides several advantages over the prior art. First, as a user may manipulate images over the course of time in various manners with various editing programs, the entire history of such edits may be preserved. Having the editing history known and retrievable allows the user to undo any or all editing manipulations to return to an original digital image as it was originally stored in the system. | 04-08-2010 |
20110255804 | Image processing device, method and program - A marker corresponding to an editing state at an arbitrary point in time of image data being edited is stored in memory. The image of an arbitrary editing state can be displayed by a user selecting the displayed marker. The original image data is not updated. When saving the image data file, the saved editing state at an arbitrary point of time can be saved as a single file together with the original image data. By selecting a plurality of markers, images corresponding to a plurality of processing states can be displayed simultaneously. A marker can be used to create a new image data file of a desired processing state, or a plurality of markers can be selected to create a plurality of new image data files. Image data can be displayed as thumbnail images, and thumbnail images and ordinary images can be concurrently displayed. | 10-20-2011 |

A detector then detects a characteristic of the digital data. A configurator configures a data modification component to modify the digital data based on the detected characteristic. As configured by the configurator, the data modification component is further configured to modify the digital data based on a horizontal displacement with respect to the indicated location and a vertical displacement with respect to the indicated location. | 01-05-2012 |
20130322785 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF - In an image processing apparatus, an image including an object is displayed on an operation surface. A position in the image that is designated by a user input is recognized. When the object is displayed at the recognized position, different editing operations with respect to the object are accepted according to the length of duration during which the position is continuously designated. As the different editing operations, at least a copying operation to copy the object and a cutting operation to cut the object from the image are distinctively accepted. | 12-05-2013 |
20140177979 | SYSTEM, METHOD AND GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE FOR DISPLAYING AND CONTROLLING VISION SYSTEM OPERATING PARAMETERS - A graphical user interface (GUI) display and GUI-based system for displaying and controlling vision system operating parameters of a contour sensor comprises an automated region of interest graphic image applied to a discrete region of a selected image in response to a single click by a user at the discrete region of the selected image, the selected image selected from a window on the GUI display containing a plurality of captured images of the object. At least one automated operating parameter is generated automatically in response to the single click by the user at the discrete region of the selected image to determine whether a contour of interest is in the automated ROI graphic image. The GUI also provides a contour graphic image that outlines the contour of interest to demonstrate whether the contour of interest is in (present or at the correct position within) the automated ROI graphic image. | 06-26-2014 |
20140205207 | TECHNIQUES FOR PRESENTING USER ADJUSTMENTS TO A DIGITAL IMAGE - Techniques for generating a preview image in an image editing application in response to detecting user input that changes the value of an adjustable parameter of a digital image undergoing adjustment. According to one technique, instead of processing the digital image through a filter chain to generate an updated preview image, a blended image is generated through interpolation of two previously generated versions of the digital image. The previously generated versions may be generated through the filter chain. The blended image may be generated in a shorter amount of time in response to the user's adjustment than the time needed to process the digital image through the filter chain. Thus, the current preview image may be updated with the blended image sooner than is possible if the current preview image is updated by processing the digital image through the filter chain. | 07-24-2014 |

A printing system is configured to apply the method. | 04-02-2015 |
20150347858 | CONTROLLING MULTIPLE PHOTOGRAPHIC ADJUSTMENTS WITH A SINGLE CONTROL - A method and system for controlling multiple image editing controls using one master control. The system identifies various characteristics of an image being edited. The system generates, for each of multiple image editing controls, a relationship between the master control and the image editing control. The relationship is based on at least one of the identified characteristics of the image being edited. The relationship is different for different images when the different images have different characteristics, such as different average color component values at a particular percentile of pixels in the images. | 12-03-2015 |
20150371422 | IMAGE EDITING USING SELECTIVE EDITING TOOLS - Implementations relate to editing images with selective editing tools. In some implementations, a computer-implemented method for an image editing program causes a display of an image and receives user input from a user to the image editing program, the user input indicative of selection of a selective editing tool. The method restores the image to a previous state in which a first modification to one or more pixel values of the image is omitted, where the first modification resulted from previous application of a first edit operation to the image. The method applies a second edit operation to one or more local areas of the image as indicated by selection of the selective editing tool by the user input, and the applying causes a second modification to the image. | 12-24-2015 |
