Abstract
A system and method for processing digital photo product templates to enhance a personalized photo product and to enable greater flexibility when selecting options for the photo product template. One or more photo product templates can be defined as a series of objects, some of which are capable of being colorized by a user. Color sets applicable to the photo product template can be displayed based on a predefined set of colors and/or a user-defined “seed color”. The selected color sets can be automatically applied to the photo product template utilizing a predefined rank. The color sets can be ranked and complementary color set suggestions provided based on the evaluation of the colors in an image.
Claims20
A method for processing photo product templates, said method comprising:
- selecting at least one photo product template from at least one predefined template, wherein said at least one photo product template comprises a plurality of objects, at least some of which are capable of being colorized;
- displaying at least one color set to be applied to said at least one photo product template based on a predefined set of colors and a pre-defined seed color;
- customizing at least one photo product by automatically applying a plurality of colors associated with said at least one color set to said at least one photo product template utilizing a predefined color rank, thereby providing real time design assistance in the processing of photo product templates.
A method for processing photo product templates, said method comprising:
- selecting at least one photo product template from at least one predefined template, wherein said at least one photo product template comprises a plurality of objects, at least some of which are capable of being colorized;
- displaying at least one color set to be applied to said at least one photo product template based on a predefined set of colors and a pre-defined seed color;
- customizing at least one photo product by automatically applying a plurality of colors associated with said at least one color set to said at least one photo product template utilizing a predefined color rank, thereby providing real time design assistance in the processing of photo product templates;
- and
- defining said predefined color rank for said plurality of colors associated with said at least one color set utilizing an algorithm that evaluates a combination of primary and auxiliary colors in a color set relative to other color sets.
A system for processing photo product templates, said system comprising:
- a processor;
- a data bus coupled to said processor;
- and
- a computer-usable medium embodying computer code, said computer-usable medium being coupled to said data bus, said computer program code comprising instructions executable by said processor and configured for:
- selecting at least one photo product template from at least one predefined template, wherein said at least one photo product template comprises a plurality of objects, at least some of which are capable of being colorized;
- displaying at least one color set to be applied to said at least one photo product template based on a predefined set of colors and a pre-defined seed color;
- and
- customizing at least one photo product by automatically applying a plurality of colors associated with said at least one color set to said at least one photo product template utilizing a predefined color rank, thereby providing real time design assistance in the processing of photo product templates.
