Abstract
Processing a collection of images includes identifying a theme for the collection of images, and performing batch processing on the collection of images. The batch processing includes applying a pre-defined group of image editing operations to the images to give the edited images a look and feel that is consistent with the identified theme.
Claims17
A method of processing a collection of images, the method comprising:
- receiving identification of a theme selected from among plural themes for the collection of images;
- labeling predefined groups of image editing operations according to corresponding ones of the plural themes, wherein each of the predefined groups includes respective image editing operations;
- performing, by a processor, batch processing on the collection of images, the batch processing including applying a particular one of the plural predefined groups of image editing operations to the images to give the edited images a look and feel that is consistent with the selected theme, wherein the particular predefined group is associated with the selected theme;
- and
- outputting, by the processor, the edited images for printing.

A system comprising:
- a memory to store a collection of images;
- and
- a processor to:
- cause display of a plurality of different themes;
- receive selection of a particular one of the themes, wherein plural predefined groups of image editing operations are labeled according to respective ones of the themes, wherein each of the predefined groups includes respective image editing operations, and wherein a particular one of the predefined groups is associated with the particular theme;
- perform batch processing on the collection of images, the batch processing including applying the image editing operations of the particular predefined group to the images to give the edited images a look and feel that is consistent with the particular theme;
- and
- output the edited images for printing.
5 more elements
An article comprising non-transitory machine memory encoded with program data that upon execution by a processor causes the processor to:
- receive a selected theme from a plurality of themes;
- label predefined groups of image editing operations according to corresponding ones of the plurality of themes, wherein each of the predefined groups includes respective image editing operations;
- perform batch processing on a collection of images, the batch processing including applying image editing operations of a particular one of the predefined groups to the images to give the edited images a look and feel that is consistent with the selected theme, wherein the particular predefined group is associated with the selected theme;
- and
- output the edited images for printing.
