  • Patent number: 12620150
    Abstract: Systems and methods are directed to generating and utilizing digital image test strips. An image system generates and displays a user interface that includes an image and an effect editing tools portion, whereby the effect editing tools portion includes test strip options associated with at least some effects of the effect editing tools portion. A selection of a test strip option for a first effect is received via the user interface by the image system. In response to receiving the selection, the image system generates an image test strip by applying incremental values of a range of values for the first effect to different portions of the image. The user interface is updated to display the image test strip. A selection of a test strip option for a second effect can also be received and the image test strip updated to reflect incremental values of both effects applied concurrently.

  • Publication number: 20250298492
    Abstract: Systems and methods are directed to generating and utilizing an interactive aspect ratio user interface presenting a range of aspect ratios that are applied to an image at the same time. The image system access an image and generates for display a user interface that includes the image and an adjust tools portion, whereby the adjust tools portion including aspect ratios. The image system receives, via the user interface, a selection of a plurality of the aspect ratios for application to the image. In response to receiving the selection of the plurality of aspect ratios, the image system generates an image preview that applies the plurality of aspect ratios to the image at the same time and updates the user interface to display the image preview. In one implementation, the image preview comprises an aspect ratio overlay that includes a bounding box for each of the plurality of aspect ratios.
