  • Publication number: 20110025694
    Abstract: A method for creating a coordinated image display by designing a digital template for the image display. The template includes a number of openings for displaying digital images. Each of the openings has at least one stored required image attribute that must be satisfied to a programmed degree according to the artistic design of the template. A template recipe includes an image attribute for a dependent opening, which means that it's defined to be dependent upon at least one image attribute of an image in another opening of the template. The computer system automatically searches an image database for an image satisfying the required image attribute for the dependent opening. If a user of the computer system manually replaces or modifies an image upon which another image depends, the computer system will automatically search the image database for a new image that satisfies the required dependency upon the replaced or modified image, if necessary.

  • Publication number: 20110029635
    Abstract: An image capture system with processing and memory system components for storing digital image template files. Each of these files include data describing a digital image template, a number, location, and shape of openings in the template. Each of the openings include image attribute requirements for images that will he placed there. A display screen showing a GUI of the capture system displays digital image templates that a user can select. Captured images are stored in the system and a processor automatically places a captured image into one of the openings in based on the attribute requirements and the actual attributes of the image. The system automatically searches for other stored images that satisfy the attribute requirements for other openings. The completed template with images is stored in an internal memory or removable memory.

  • Publication number: 20110029552
    Abstract: A computer implemented method for automatically generating an artist coordinated image display based upon a user's favorite image or images. A plurality of digital image templates are stored in a computer accessible memory each having programmed characteristics associated therewith that are designed by an artist with one window being a primary window. The characteristics of the template can be programmed and stored, including number, location, shape, color, etc, of windows in the digital template. Color and texture characteristics of a body of the template can be selected to resemble, for example, a frame, which will eventually hold the printed images of the template for display. The windows of the template have stored image attribute requirements associated therewith that are designed by the artist are correlated to match image attributes of at least one user selected image.

  • Publication number: 20110026836
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for creating a coordinated image display. A computer system comprising stored digital templates for said image display can be operated by a user to generate the image display. The templates each have a plurality of digital openings for displaying digital images and each of those openings has a required image attribute. The group of required attributes for the openings are stored as a template recipe. The template recipe includes a required image attribute for a dependent opening. The dependent opening is dependent on an image attribute of an image captured by a capture device coupled to the computer system, which includes scanners and cameras. The captured image can be of a paint swatch, a fabric, furniture, carpeting, or any other item or image.

  • Publication number: 20110029540
    Abstract: A method of automatically selecting a number of secondary images and a display template for display with a primary preselected image based on analyzing the primary image's attribute information and comparing the secondary images attribute information and the templates image attribute requirements. The attribute information is used to evaluate a compatibility of the images and template so that a best compatibility fit can be obtained when displaying the images.
