Post-capture processing in a messaging system

A system comprising:

• a processor;
• a memory including instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
• retrieving, by a client device from a storage device, first image data captured by the client device;
• receiving first metadata corresponding to a selected image processing operation, wherein the first metadata corresponding to the selected image processing operation is provided by a messaging server and received by the client device;
• generating second image data based on the first metadata and the image processing operation performed on the first image data, the second image data comprising modified image data after the selected image processing operation is performed on the first image data;
• generating second metadata comprising information related to the image processing operation, the second metadata including a first identifier associated with the first image data, and second identifier associated with the second image data, the second metadata further comprising an identifier of at least one media overlay utilized with the image processing operation and media overlay metadata, the media overlay metadata including information regarding the at least one media overlay that is applied to the first image data, wherein the second metadata further comprises gesture information indicating a swipe direction, a gesture sequence count indicating a number of swipes, and a tap count indicating a number of touch inputs received;
• and
• generating a message comprising the second metadata, the second image data, the second image data comprising the modified image data after the at least one media overlay is utilized with the image processing operation on the first image data, and the first image data, the first image data comprising unmodified image data prior to the modified image data from the second image data, and the first image data being stored in the storage device at a previous time and retrieved from the storage device at a subsequent time when generating the message;
• and
• sending the message to a second client device, the message including the second metadata, the second image data comprising the modified image data after the at least one media overlay is utilized with the image processing operation on the first image data, and including the first image data comprising the unmodified image data prior to the modified image data from the second image data.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions, which when executed by a computing device, cause the computing device to perform operations comprising:

• retrieving, by a client device from a storage device, first image data captured by the client device;
• receiving first metadata corresponding to a selected image processing operation, wherein the first metadata corresponding to the selected image processing operation is provided by a messaging server and received by the client device;
• generating second image data based on the first metadata and the image processing operation performed on the first image data, the second image data comprising modified image data after the selected image processing operation is performed on the first image data;
• generating second metadata comprising information related to the image processing operation, the second metadata including a first identifier associated with the first image data, and second identifier associated with the second image data, the second metadata further comprising an identifier of at least one media overlay utilized with the image processing operation and media overlay metadata, the media overlay metadata including information regarding the at least one media overlay that is applied to the first image data, wherein the second metadata further comprises gesture information indicating a swipe direction, a gesture sequence count indicating a number of swipes, and a tap count indicating a number of touch inputs received;
• and
• generating a message comprising the second metadata, the second image data, the second image data comprising the modified image data after the at least one media overlay is utilized with the image processing operation on the first image data, and the first image data, the first image data comprising unmodified image data prior to the modified image data from the second image data, and the first image data being stored in the storage device at a previous time and retrieved from the storage device at a subsequent time when generating the message;
• and
• sending the message to a second client device, the message including the second metadata, the second image data comprising the modified image data after the at least one media overlay is utilized with the image processing operation on the first image data, and including the first image data comprising the unmodified image data prior to the modified image data from the second image data.
