Keyboard instrument

A system for controlling effects performed on an image includes a digital camera having a display that displays the image. Masking tools position graphical representations on the display to define a portion of the image that is altered when the effects are subsequently applied to the image. The several masking tools may be combined to form a single masking tool.

Masking tool

An imaging service creates a visual presentation. The imaging service accesses images of a location, arranges them such that they create a desired visual effect when displayed, and combines them in a visual presentation. The imaging service may employ a client/server system, in which case images and information are uploaded from a client, and the visual presentation is downloaded to the client. The imaging service may also receive compensation from a computer user for using the imaging service.

Imaging service for automating the display of images

A system for controlling effects performed on an image includes a digital camera having a display that displays the image. A masking tool positions a graphical representation on the display, the graphical representation defining a portion of the image that is altered when the effects are applied to the image. The masking tool is positioned over a masked portion of an image and an effect is applied. The effect is applied on the image inside the masked portion.

A system for controlling effects performed on an image includes a digital camera having a display that displays the image. A masking tool positions a graphical representation on the display, the graphical representation defining a portion of the image that is altered when the effects are subsequently applied to the image. The masking tool is positioned over a masked portion of an image and an effect is applied. The effect is applied on the image outside the masked portion.

According to one embodiment of the invention, a method of masking comprises an operation of selecting a masking tool based on operations performed on a digital camera by a user. The masking tool is positioned over a masked portion of an image and an effect is applied. The effect is applied on the image outside the masked portion.

A computerized system, comprising: manipulating a dial; interacting with software, wherein the dial is interactive with the software for sequentially viewing a plurality of files. Additionally, manipulation of the dial by rotation sequentially moves the plurality of files and further manipulation of the dial further increases the speed of file sequencing.

Image database jog/shuttle search

A method and system of masking comprising: positioning a masking tool over a masked portion of an image; applying an effect onto the image outside the masked portion; and dynamically moving the masking tool while applying the effect wherein the masked portion changes as the masking tool is dynamically moved.

A system and method for indicating suggested user responses is disclosed. The method includes loading an image into image-editing equipment. The method further includes determining a set of quality-related problems of the image using software. An animated icon is displayed in conjunction with the image, and indicates a suggested user response to one of the quality-related problems. Other embodiments may include matching a corrective function with one of said set of quality-related problems, and indicating the suggested user response in response to the matching. Further embodiments may perform the indicating by having the animated icon proffer a tool icon, or by performing a related editing to the animated icon. Finally, in other embodiments the method may include moving the animated icon to alternate image-editing equipment.

System and method for animated character photo-editing interface and cross-platform education icon

A case for an electronic device, which includes a first protective material that maintains the electronic device within the case, and at least one controlling interface that is in electrical communication with said electronic device, and disposed on the first protective material. Through the controlling interface, the user can operate an electronic feature of the electronic device. Electrical communication between the controlling interface and the electronic device can be carried out, at least in part using wireless communication means. Further, a connection port can included for transferring electrical signals between the electronic device and the controlling interface. The connection port can be attached to the first protective material to avoid separation of the port from the case.
