Certain embodiments involve automatically controlling modifications to typeface designs. For example, a typeface design application provides a design interface for modifying a design of an input character from a typeface. The typeface design application accesses a machine-learning model that is trained, using multiple training typefaces, to recognize the input character as a reference character. The typeface design application receives, via the design interface, an input modifying the design of the input character. The typeface design application determines that the machine-learning model cannot match the reference character to the input character having a modified design. The typeface design application outputs, via the design interface, an indicator that the input character having the modified design is not recognized as the reference character.

In various exemplary embodiments, a system and associated method for providing a hybrid cloud computing environment are disclosed. For example, a system may authorize an enterprise user based on an enterprise identity. Once authenticated, embodiments may use mapping data and a cloud role to determine an identity to use when the enterprise user accesses a cloud.

A content manipulation application provides a graphical interface for editing graphical content. The graphical interface includes first and second control elements for performing first and second manipulations of the graphical content. If the first control element is selected, the content management application switches the graphical interface to a trackpad mode. The trackpad mode disables the second control element and thereby prevents the second control element from performing the second manipulation. While the graphical interface is in the trackpad mode, the content management application receives an input in an input area that lacks the first control element and performs the first manipulation of the graphical content responsive to receiving the input. Subsequent to the first manipulation being performed, the graphical interface is switched out of the trackpad mode, thereby enabling the second control element to perform the second manipulation.

Selectively enabling trackpad functionality in graphical interfaces

Embodiments for manipulating an object, such as an image, are described. For example, a content application renders the object and supports multiple manipulation modes. A GUI of the application is available at a touch screen of a computing device. A mapping of standard touch screen gestures and object manipulations are defined for each manipulation mode. One of the modes is a standard manipulation mode that supports standard object manipulations. At least one other mode is a special manipulation mode. In this special mode, the standard user gestures are mapped to application-defined manipulations that are different from the standard object manipulations. Based on a user selection of one of the manipulation modes, the selected mode is activated. While in the activated manipulation mode, a standard user gesture is received and the relevant object manipulation is applied to the object.

Image session identifier techniques are described. In one or more implementations, a request is received to create an image sharing session and a session identifier is generated for the image sharing session that is configured to act as a credential to join the image sharing session as a member. A communication is formed that includes the generated session identifier and that is configured for communication via a network to an originator of the request.

A system and method are disclosed for selectively updating software and sending other information, such as advertisements, to an IM client device based on client-side behavior vectors collected from the IM client. Behavior vectors are information related to a software component, such as IM client messenger, client device, and a user of the client device, including, but not limited to core software, optional software, advertisements displayed, usage data, performance data, and client meta data.

Systems and methods are disclosed for identifying digital fonts. In particular, in one or more embodiments, the disclosed systems and methods detect a digital font, font characteristics, and a text structure with regard to digital text in an electronic document. Moreover, in one or more embodiments, the disclosed systems and methods utilize the detected font characteristics and text structure to search for complementary digital fonts. In particular, one or more embodiments include systems and methods that generate a search query based on determined font characteristics and/or text structures and utilize the search query to automatically identify, recommend, and provide complementary digital fonts for utilization in the electronic document.

A typeface processing application accesses a character skeleton, which has control points and curves defined by control points, and a character outline surrounding the character skeleton. The typeface processing application computes, for a design parameter of a design application, a graphics control dataset based on a particular control point. Doing so involves identifying a pair of control point positions and a pair of expansions of the character outline, where each position or expansion pair corresponds to a pair of design parameter values. The typeface processing application generates the graphics control dataset, which includes intermediate positions of the control point between the pair of positions and intermediate expansions of the character outline between the pair of expansions. The typeface processing application outputs the graphics control dataset to the design application, which can display, responsive to a selection of a design parameter value, modified character designs generated using the graphics control dataset.

A computer-implemented method for designing a digital design layout that includes text includes receiving a first user input requesting creation of a text editing element. The text editing element may include a text window and one or more graphical user interface controls associated with the text window. In response to receiving the first user input, the text editing element is displayed via a graphical user interface. The text editing element includes a graphical representation of a text window containing text, an adjustable slide control for changing the text characteristic, and a resize handle for changing the size of the text window. The method further includes receiving a second user input requesting adjustment of the adjustable slide control. In response to receiving the second user input, a characteristic of the text contained in the text window is changed without changing the width and the height of the text window.

Dynamic text control for mobile devices

Automatic techniques to tune images based on metadata are described. In one or more implementations, image data and metadata are received that references a geographic location. Responsive to a user input, the image data is processed using one or more tuning parameters that correspond to the geographic location to change one or more visual characteristics of the image data.

Automatic tuning of images based on metadata

Image session ranking techniques are described. In one or more implementations, indications are received that a plurality of image sharing sessions are available for joining by one or more potential members. The plurality of image sharing sessions are prioritized based on one or more ranking criteria that are usable to determine a relative likelihood that a user wishes to join respective image sharing sessions. A list is formed of suggested image sharing sessions that are arranged, one or another, based on the priority.

Image session ranking

The present disclosure is directed toward printing of digital images with increased efficiency and ease. In particular, one or more embodiments provide an image printing system that allows a user to print images from a mobile or other device without having to upload a high-resolution version of the digital images to a print vendor. More specifically, one or more embodiments of the image printing system allow users to store images on a remote server or in a cloud storage space. When the users desire to print physical copies of the digital images, the image printing system can provide the digital images to a print vendor without requiring the users to upload the images to the print vendor from the users' own device.
