  • Patent number: 9785323
    Abstract: A user interface includes a digital image display canvas and a plurality of control tiles arranged on a rotatable carousel. A user can browse through the control tiles using swiping gestures that rotate the carousel. Each control tile represents a parameter, an imaging effect, or some other manipulation that can be applied to the displayed image. For control tiles representing a parameter which can be selected from a range of numerical values, such as image brightness, selecting the control tile causes a universal slider to be displayed. The universal slider extends across an entire dimension of the display, thereby providing the user with a wide range of adjustment for the corresponding parameter. Selecting a different control tile associated with a different parameter causes user input received via the universal slider to be applied to the different parameter, thereby such that the same universal slider can manipulate multiple parameters.

  • Publication number: 20160150102
    Abstract: In embodiments of a mobile-first photography workflow device, digital photos that have been captured with a digital camera are received by the workflow device, and proxy images that each corresponds to one of the digital photos is created, where the proxy images have less data than a corresponding one of the digital photos, yet remain configured for photo editing. The proxy images are communicated to a tablet device that can receive and display a proxy image that has the less data than the corresponding digital photo. The workflow device can then receive a metadata update from the tablet device, where the metadata update is associated with a photographer editing a proxy image. An edited digital photo can then be generated at the workflow device based on the metadata update applied to the corresponding digital photo, and the edited digital photo can be synchronized with additional computing devices.

  • Patent number: 8423913
    Abstract: A system detects an association of at least one style to at least one file, the file containing a reference to the style, and displays a representation of the style. The system also displays a representation of the file, and a representation of the association of the style to the file. The system displays a number of times the style is defined within the one file, and the number of times the style is used within the at least one file.
