  • Patent number: 10979774
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for tagging images for placement in a graphical layout based on image characteristics. The overall brightness of an image is determined and, if the overall brightness is below a threshold level of brightness, the image is tagged with a negative identifier indicating that the image cannot be dimmed. If the overall brightness exceeds the threshold level of brightness, then the image is tagged with a positive identifier indicating that the image can be dimmed. Similarly, the resolution of the image is determined and, if the resolution currently affects the image, the image is tagged with a negative identifier indicating that the image cannot be blurred. If the resolution does not affect the image, and further blurring will not affect the image, then the image is tagged with a positive identifier indicating that the image can be blurred.
