A method for providing an image enhanced output product, comprising:
- receiving digital images at a computer system from an input station via a computer network, wherein the computer system comprises a processor configured to execute content and program data files, and a digital communication system configured to connect the computer system to the computer network;
- providing automated software algorithms that automatically generate an image display of an automated image enhanceable item according to a template recipe, wherein the template recipe allows a user to make a designation of content data files to be used in generating the automated image enhanceable item and to select an output form for converting the automated image enhanceable item into an image enhanced output product;
- receiving a user input from a user input system comprising a device capable of converting the user input into a form that can be used by the processor;
- allowing a user to arrange, organize, and edit content data files via image editing software in the computer system, wherein the image editing software is used to override the automated image enhanceable item generated by the computer system, provide information about the user or audience, provide annotation data, and identify characters in the content data files;
- and
- providing an output system for rendered images, text, completed or uncompleted digital image templates, or other graphical representations in a manner that allows an image enhanceable item to be converted into the image enhanced output product.
