Publication number: 20140204112Abstract: A method or computer program product for color selection in a color image, including operations or instructions for selecting a base color in a base color portion of a color image; computing a perceptual color difference between the base color and a respective second color in the color image; comparing the perceptual color difference to a tolerance; and, identifying whether the color difference satisfies the tolerance.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 16, 2013Publication date: July 24, 2014Applicant: COREL CORPORATION, Inc.Inventor: Bruce J. LINDBLOOM

Patent number: 8358306Abstract: Technology for re-coloring a region of a color image including determining an original base color in a region of a color image; establishing at least one shading parameter in the region of the color image; and combining a new base color with the at least one shading parameter in the region of the color image thereby producing a re-colored region of the color image.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2011Date of Patent: January 22, 2013Assignee: Corel CorporationInventor: Bruce J Lindbloom

Publication number: 20110268314Abstract: A system that provides automatic background analysis of a digital image or other media element makes a determination that the image or media element may benefit from correction, and prompts the user to use a correction feature of the system. In some implementations, the prompt itself can navigate the user to the controls for the correction feature. Accordingly, users are notified when they might benefit from correction, and they can be further led to discover a feature with which they may have previously been unfamiliar.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 2, 2011Publication date: November 3, 2011Applicant: COREL CORPORATIONInventors: Douglas E. Meisner, Bruce J. Lindbloom, Michael Greenhalgh

Patent number: 5740076Abstract: An improved method is described for obtaining, processing and displaying information relating to the ability of a display system to render any candidate color. This method is comprised of a Gamut Signal Encoder which produces a signal that is separately processed by a Distance Encoder, a Distance Classifier and Color Encoder and a Gamut Test Encoder, thus providing three processed signals for assisting in the understanding of a display device's ability to render the color.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 1995Date of Patent: April 14, 1998Assignee: Candela, Ltd.Inventor: Bruce J. Lindbloom

Patent number: 4674058Abstract: A graphic arts method and apparatus for representation via display media of arbitrary two dimensional figures are disclosed. The method and apparatus of the present invention convert raw figure data into a reduced data set which defines a two dimensional arbitrary shape, herein referred to an a bezier figure, whose edges are defined by second order parametric curves such that the edges of the bezier figure closely approximate those of the figure represented by the raw data. The bezier figure data is converted for presentation on a display medium of an image which closely approximates that of the figure.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 1981Date of Patent: June 16, 1987Assignee: Dicomed CorporationInventors: Bruce J. Lindbloom, Peter Mathews, David S. Yam
