Abstract
A system to perform localized activity with respect to digital data includes an interface component and an activity component. The interface component is configured to receive a marker location with respect to source digital data. The activity component is configured automatically to perform a parametrically-controlled activity with respect to the source digital data, based on an activity parameter. The activity component is further configured automatically to perform a parametrically-controlled selection of a selected portion of the source digital data, based on the marker location and a portion selection parameter, and to localize an effect of the parametrically-controlled activity to the selected portion of the source digital data.

A system to perform localized activity with respect to digital data, the system including:
- an interface component to receive a marker location with respect to source digital data;
- and
- an activity component automatically to perform a parametrically-controlled activity with respect to the source digital data, based on an activity parameter,
- wherein the activity component is to perform a parametrically-controlled selection of a selected portion of the source digital data, based on the marker location and a portion selection parameter, and to localize an effect of the parametrically-controlled activity to the selected portion of the source digital data.
A method to perform localized activity with respect to digital data, the method including:
- receiving a marker location with respect to source digital data;
- automatically performing a parametrically-controlled activity with respect to the source digital data, based on an activity parameter;
- and
- automatically performing a parametrically-controlled selection of a selected portion of the source digital data, based on the marker location and a portion selection parameter;
- and
- automatically localizing an effect of the parametrically-controlled activity to the selected portion of the source digital data.
A data structure including:
- marker location data to identify a location with respect to digital data;
- activity control data identifying an activity, and including at least one activity parameter to control the activity, the activity to be performed in a parametrically-controlled manner with respect to the digital data;
- and
- selection control data identifying a selection method, and including at least one selection parameter to control the selection method, the selection method to be performed in a parametrically-controlled manner with respect to the digital data to localize the activity with respect to a selected portion of the digital data.
A method to define data structure, the method including:
- receiving, from a user, marker location data to identify a location with respect to digital data;
- creating activity control data identifying an activity, and including at least one activity parameter to control the activity, the activity to be performed in a parametrically-controlled manner with respect to the digital data;
- and
- creating selection control data identifying a selection method, and including at least one selection parameter to control the selection method, the selection method to be performed in a parametrically-controlled manner with respect to the digital data to localize the activity with respect to a selected portion of the digital data.
A system to perform adjustments to a digital image, the system including:
- a data structure including marker location data to identify a location with respect to digital image, activity control data identifying a parametrically-controlled image adjustment activity, and including at least one activity parameter to control the parametrically-controlled image adjustment activity, and selection control data identifying a selection method, and including at least one selection parameter to control the selection method;
- an interface component to allow a user to locate a marker icon with respect to a source digital image, and to receive the marker location data with respect to the source digital image responsive to the user-location of the marker icon;
- and
- an image adjustment component automatically to perform the parametrically-controlled image adjustment activity with respect to the source digital image, based on the at least one activity parameter,
- wherein the image adjustment component is to perform a parametrically-controlled selection of a selected portion of the source digital image using the selection method, based on the marker location and the at least one portion selection parameter, and is to localize an effect of the parametrically-controlled activity to the selected portion of the source digital image.
