Abstract
An image processing device, including an image receiver operable to receive a first image; an image converter operable to convert the first image to a second image, the second image being a smaller-sized representation of the first image; an image pre-processor operable to perform an imaging effect on the second image to form a third image, the imaging effect being defined by an imaging effect parameter; a first output device operable to output the third image for display; and a second output device operable to output the first image and the imaging effect parameter.
Claims18
An image processing device, comprising:
- image receiver circuitry configured to receive a first image;
- image converter circuitry configured to convert the first image to a second image, the second image being a smaller-sized representation of the first image;
- image processor circuitry configured to perform an imaging effect on the second image to form a third image, the imaging effect being defined by an imaging effect parameter;
- first output device circuitry configured to output the third image for display;
- and
- second output device circuitry configured to output the first image and the imaging effect parameter.
An image processing device comprising
- receiver circuitry configured to receive an image and an imaging effect parameter, the imaging effect parameter defining an imaging effect to be performed on the image;
- image processor circuitry configured to perform the imaging effect on the image, using the imaging effect parameter, to produce a final image;
- and
- final image output device circuitry configured to output the final image.
14-16. (canceled)
An image processing method, comprising:
- receiving a first image;
- converting the first image to a second image, the second image being a smaller-sized representation of the first image;
- performing an imaging effect on the second image to form a third image, the imaging effect being defined by an imaging effect parameter;
- outputting the third image for display;
- and
- outputting the first image and the imaging effect parameter.
