Abstract: An electronic device and method of operation, the electronic device including at least one processor communicatively coupled to a display and memory, the processor configured for filtering a facial image rendered on the display. In an illustrative embodiment, the at least one processor is configured to generate a boundary around the facial image, the boundary having 2-dimensional x and y coordinates relative to boundaries of the display; store the coordinates in memory; in response to at least one of a cropping and moving of the image, recalculate the coordinates to match a new transform setting; and apply an effect to the facial image based on the updated coordinates.

Abstract: A portable electronic device, computer program product, and method of presenting image information on a display with combined cropping and rotation selection and auto-resizing of cropped portion of the displayed image. A processor accepts a selection of a portion of a displayed image in a selection rectangle frame over the displayed image, based on detecting a first gesture. The processor determines a request for rotation of the displayed selection rectangle frame based on detecting a second gesture. The processor then rotates the selection rectangle frame on the displayed image and resizes the selection rectangle frame while maintaining it within the outer boundaries of the displayed image.

Abstract: There is disclosed apparatus and a computer implemented method for processing a digital image. The method comprises maintaining ordered cached digital images arranged in a predetermined order. The ordered cached digital images comprise a base digital image and a subsequent plurality of modified cached digital images. Each modified cached digital image is associated with an image modification category. Each subsequent modified cached digital image is generated by performing image modification operations relating to its respective image modification category on the immediately preceding cached image in accordance with the predetermined order.

Abstract: A portable electronic device, computer program product, and method of presenting image information on a display with combined cropping and rotation selection and auto-resizing of cropped portion of the displayed image. A processor accepts a selection of a portion of a displayed image by creating and displaying a selection rectangle frame over the displayed image based on detecting a first user gesture in connection with the displayed image. The processor determines a user request for rotation of the displayed selection rectangle frame based on detecting a second user gesture. The processor then rotates the selection rectangle frame on the displayed image and resizes the selection rectangle frame while maintaining it within the outer boundaries of the displayed image and while contemporaneously expanding the selection rectangle frame up to an original size of the selection rectangle frame created and displayed over the displayed image.
