Abstract
A system for editing images on a digital camera is disclosed. An exemplary system comprises an image capture element for capturing an original image, a memory for temporarily storing the original captured image as an image file, a first logic for generating edit description information used to edit the original captured image and for creating an edited image, where the edited image replaces the original captured image in the memory, and a second logic for generating undo edit description information used to reverse the edits and restore the original captured image. Exemplary methods and computer readable media are also disclosed.
Claims18
A system for editing images on a digital camera, comprising:
- an image capture element for capturing an original image;
- a memory for temporarily storing the original captured image as an image file;
- a first logic for generating edit description information used to edit the original captured image and creating an edited image, where the edited image replaces the original captured image in the memory;
- and
- a second logic for generating undo edit description information used to reverse the edits and restore the original captured image.
A method for editing images on a digital camera, comprising:
- capturing an original image;
- temporarily storing the original captured image as an image file;
- generating edit description information used to edit the original captured image;
- creating an edited image, where the edited image replaces the original captured image;
- and
- generating undo edit description information for reversing the edits and restoring the original captured image.
A system for editing images on a digital camera, comprising:
- means for capturing an original image;
- means for storing the original captured image as an image file;
- means for editing the original captured image to develop an edited image, where the editing means generates edit description information;
- means for replacing the original captured image with the edited image;
- means for generating undo edit description information;
- and
- means for restoring the original captured image from the edited image.
A system for editing images on a digital camera, comprising:
- an image capture element for capturing an original image;
- a memory for storing the original captured image as an image file;
- a first logic for generating edit description information used to edit the original captured image, where the edit description information is stored as a separate file in the memory with the original captured image.
