Abstract
A method and apparatus for interactively and automatically enhancing image data by modifying one or more features of an image. The method includes inputting image data representing an image to be modified, analyzing the image for features to be modified, automatically selecting one or more feature to be modified, determining a first degree of modification using a automatic image enhancement techniques or a stored user preference, reversibly modifying the image based on the selected image feature and the first degree of modification, showing the image before improvement, showing the image after improvement and allowing the user to further modify at least one feature of the image data.
Claims14
A method for interactively modifying one or more features of an image, comprising:
- inputting image data representing an image to be modified;
- analyzing the image data for features to be modified;
- automatically selecting one or more feature to be modified;
- automatically determining a first degree of modification;
- modifying the image data based on the selected feature and the first degree of modification;
- displaying the modified image data;
- and
- allowing a user to further modify at least one selected feature of the image data until the displayed image data is in a desired condition.
An apparatus for modifying one or more features of image data, comprising:
- a memory structure that stores image data and modification data;
- one or more processing circuits that selects one or more features and use automatic image enhancement methods on the selected one or more features;
- a display device that displays at least the modified image data;
- an input device for selecting and adjusting the automatic image enhancement methods to said at least one of the selected features.
