A user interface method is provided by an SDK embedded in a third party resource running on a portable device including a camera and a display. The method includes receiving an API call to display an image processing user interface and in response, displaying a first user interface comprising a list of selectable graphical items corresponding to a group of available image modification features. If user selection of a desired graphical item from the list of selectable graphical items is received, image modification features corresponding to the desired graphical item are applied to an image received from the camera, generating a modified image. A second user interface including the modified image is then displayed on the display.
