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.

An online collaborative story system allows multiple people to collaborate on creating a story by contributing content of various types to a server computer, where it is voted on by the collaborators or a designated editor to create the finished story. Additionally, one or more of the collaborators can be rewarded for their participation in the story.

Online story collaboration

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 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 system and method for editing digital images are described. The system for editing digital images forms an image template containing a selected record of one or more image editing operations performed on a first image to obtain a first edited image. The image template also contains the first edited image. The system then applies the image template to one or more second images.

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.
