1) An apparatus for creating a photo album, the apparatus comprising:
- a storage server comprising a first memory configured to store images received from a remote system, and a second memory configured to store pre-defined template information and a plurality of pre-defined filter parameters;
- an image processing server (IPS) coupled to the storage server having a filter processor and an image placement processor;
- wherein the IPS retrieves the pre-defined template information from the second memory, based on a selected template;
- wherein the IPS also retrieves at least one pre-defined filter parameter among the plurality of pre-defined filter parameters, based on the retrieved pre-defined template information;
- wherein the IPS applies one or more filters based on said at least one pre-defined filter parameter that is associated with said retrieved pre-defined template information;
- and
- wherein images applied with said one or more filters and placed into the selected template are provided to the remote system.
