Abstract: A photographic processing system in which subject and other data is stored in a database and such data is automatically linked to photographs taken using either a film or digital camera.

Abstract: An image processing system includes an image analysis module and an error detection module. The image analysis module is configured to analyze a digital image and to locate a plurality of head points of a subject in the digital image. The image analysis module is configured to detect a high hair condition of a subject, and to compute an adjusted top of head point if a high hair condition is present. The error detection module is configured to evaluate the head points identified by the image analysis module by performing a geometry test to evaluate a geometry of the head points.

Abstract: A photographic processing system is provided that is capable of storing subject and other data in a database and automatically linking such data to photographs as they are taken using either a film or digital camera.

Abstract: An automated studio and control system for taking photographs is disclosed that alleviates many exposure problems and simplifies variables with which the photographer must deal in order to achieve consistent high quality photographs. The studio includes a multi-light portrait lighting system, a subject location verification system and a system for varying backgrounds, all of which are tied to an integrated control system and synchronized to a camera.

Abstract: Automation of the process of creating pages for publications is achieved by developing on a publisher's computer a database including images and data related to the images. The data are used to select, sort and organize the images on page layouts based upon instructions from an authorized user from that user's computer.

Abstract: Page layouts are created on a computer using low-resolution versions of image files stored on a production computer system. The page layouts are then transferred to the production computer system and the low-resolution versions of the image files are automatically replaced by the high-resolution versions. Cropping and scaling of the images used in creating the page layouts are retained when the low-resolution version is replaced by the high-resolution version.
