Holistic visual image interactivity engine

A system, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory including instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to:
• receive a first image associated with an image filter, the image filter comprising one or more image filter layers, wherein an image filter layer defines a set of outer boundary coordinates associated with included shapes and outer boundary coordinates associated with excluded shapes;
• wherein the image filter:
• associates the outer boundary coordinates of the first image with an image filter root layer;
• associates the outer boundary coordinates of a first shape as an included shape of a first image filter layer;
• associates the outer boundary coordinates of the first shape as an excluded shape of the image filter root layer;
• and
• defines an overlay including:
• a first portion having a first fill opacity, the first portion corresponding to pixels of the first image within the outer boundary coordinates of included shapes of the image filter root layer and not within the outer boundary coordinates of excluded shapes of the image filter root layer, and
• a second portion having a transparent fill opacity, the second portion corresponding to pixels of the first image within the outer boundary coordinates of included shapes of the first image filter layer and not within the outer boundary coordinates of excluded shapes of the first image filter layer;
• display the first image via a graphical user interface;
• apply the overlay to the first image;
• receive an indication via the graphical user interface of an interaction with a location of the first image within the outer boundary coordinates of the first shape;
• and
• update the display of the first image, wherein the updating of the display includes deemphasizing pixels of the first image associated with included shapes in the image filter root layer, and excludes from the deemphasizing pixels associated with included shapes of the first image filter layer.
