A system and method display a suggested luminance adjustment for an image. The method includes applying a contrast adjustment to a first region of the image. The contrast adjustment defines a preference for the contrast adjusted image and determines a second region of the contrast adjusted image based on a salience map associated with the contrast adjusted image and the preference for the contrast adjusted image. The method further includes displaying a visual indication of the suggested luminance adjustment for the second region in association with the contrast adjusted image. The suggested luminance adjustment is determined based on a preference of the contrast adjusted image with the suggested luminance adjustment applied.

System and method for displaying a suggested luminance adjustment for an image

A method () of generating an ordered sequence of items from a collection of items, at least one of the items of the collection having at least two annotations, is disclosed. The method () selects one or more of the annotations and forms a first plurality of groups of items from the collection of items, each item in a group having one or more of the selected annotations in common. The method () selects a second plurality of the groups of items to form a sequence of groups, each group in the sequence comprising an item having at least one annotation in common with an item of at least one adjacent group of the sequence. The items are ordered within each of the selected groups of the sequence based on the selected annotations.

Method of ordering and presenting images with smooth metadata transitions

A method of retrieving a plurality of resource fragments from a audio-visual resource that is encoded using a hierarchical addressing model for the class of resources of which the audio-visual resource is a member is disclosed. The method comprises inputting a URI reference () comprising a Universal Resource Identifier () and a complex fragment identifier () comprising a plurality of audio-visual resource specific location steps. Thereafter the method comprises a step of locating the audio-visual resource using the Universal Resource Name, and establishing () a logical representation () of the structure of the audio-visual resource. Then the method iteratively evaluates the fragment identifier location steps () against the logical representation () to resolve the complex fragment identifier () into a set of explicit fragment references () configured to explicitly address each of the plurality of resource fragments.
