Abstract
A method of combining at least one captured generated digital image with at least one prestored digital image. The method includes analyzing a customer generated digital image so as to obtain a design attribute and/or style, then selecting a prestored digital image in accordance with the design attribute and/or style obtained and combining the customer generated image and the selected prestored digital image so as to form a merged image. The merged image is then forwarded to an output device.
Claims15
A method of combining at least one captured generated digital image with at least one prestored digital image, comprising the steps of:
- a) providing at least one capture means for obtaining a customer generated image in digital form;
- b) analyzing said customer generated digital image so as to obtain a design attribute and/or style of said customer generated digital image;
- c) comparing the obtained design attribute and/or style of the customer generated digital image with design attributes and/or style of prestored digital images;
- d) automatically selecting a prestored digital image which has a design attribute and/or style that matches the obtained design attribute and/or style of the customer generated digital image;
- e) combining said customer generated image and said selected prestored digital image so as to form a merged image;
- and
- f) forwarding said merged image to an output device.
