Abstract: An image correction system comprises a detection application accessible by a processor and adapted to identify a viewing direction of at least one eye of a subject within an image. The system also comprises a reconstruction application accessible by the processor and adapted to automatically modify the image to modify the viewing direction of the at least one eye of the subject.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for detecting and fixing incorrect dates tagged to digital images is disclosed. The current date on a digital imaging device and the dates tagged to digital images are used to determine any potentially incorrect dates tagged to the digital images. When the date on the digital imaging device is incorrect the dates tagged to the images may be incorrect. When the dates tagged to the images are old, or close to a default date, or have large gaps between groups, the dates may be incorrect. The potentially incorrect dates may be brought to the users attention, and after user conformation the dates are corrected.

Abstract: A method of preserving metadata in an electronic image file includes copying metadata into the image file from a metadata backup database after the metadata are removed from the electronic image file. An image file management application comprised of computer-readable instructions stored on a computer-readable medium, causes a computer or processor to access an electronic image file and copy metadata into the image file from a metadata backup database after the metadata are removed from the electronic image file.

Abstract: Image processing systems for converting image data corresponding to a document, where the image data exhibits a first format, are disclosed. In this regard, a representative image processing system includes a file conversion system configured to receive information corresponding to the image data as well as information corresponding to a second format to which the image data is to be converted. Additionally, the file conversion system is configured to retrieve information corresponding to a set of format rules, where the set of format rules corresponds to the second format. Thereafter, the file conversion system converts the image data to converted data representative of image data and exhibiting the second format without rescanning, reanalyzing, or reprocessing the document. Methods and other systems also are provided.

Abstract: A method of displaying a scanned image, comprising the steps: optically scanning a document to render an electronic image of the document, zooming in on the image to magnify a subset of the electronic image using a software zooming methodology, thereby rendering a first zoomed image; and refreshing the first zoomed image by optically scanning a subset of the document corresponding to the first zoomed image.

Abstract: An image management system comprises a management application accessible by a processor and adapted to monitor access to a plurality of image files. The system also comprises an interface adapted to chronologically display a plurality of thumbnail images corresponding to the access of the corresponding image files.
