摘要： Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for performing a visual rewind operation in an image editing application may include capturing, compressing, and storing image data and interaction logs and correlations between them. The stored information may be used in a visual rewind operation, during which a sequence of frames (e.g., an animation) depicting changes in an image during image editing operations is displayed in reverse order. In response to navigating to a point in the animation, data representing the image state at that point may be reconstructed from the stored data and stored as a modified image or a variation thereof. The methods may be employed in an image editing application to provide a partial undo operation, image editing variation previewing, and/or visually-driven editing script creation. The methods may be implemented as stand-alone applications or as program instructions implementing components of a graphics application, executable by a CPU and/or GPU.

摘要： A set of pixels of a background element is identified according to a mask that defines a shape of a foreground element. A color value for a pixel of the foreground element is determined. The determining includes ascertaining a value of a measure of brightness of one or more pixels of a set of pixels of the background element and calculating the color value for the pixel of the foreground element based on the value of the measure of brightness and a value of an adjustable contrast variable. The calculating the color value for the pixel of the foreground element preserves in the foreground element a color component of the one or more pixels of the set of pixels of the background element and increases contrast with the value of the measure of brightness according to the value of the adjustable contrast variable.

摘要： Systems and methods for providing a natural media painting application may receive user inputs through tablet stylus gestures. Various digital painting and image editing tasks may be invoked and/or controlled using such gesture-based inputs. The application may detect stylus gestures that mimic real-world actions of artists, and may perform appropriate painting and image editing actions in response to detecting and recognizing the stylus gestures. The system may provide an automatic zoom mode in which, as the stylus is moved into proximity of the tablet, the application zooms into a displayed image to focus on an area of interest. The system may also provide an automatic panning mode that allows the user to pan an image when the stylus is in proximity to, but not touching, the tablet. One or more thresholds for determining whether the stylus is in proximity with the tablet may be pre-defined or may be user configurable.

摘要： Systems, methods, and apparatus for simulating natural media painting in a digital painting application (or painting simulation module) may provide an automatic brush cleaning feature and an automatic brush filling feature, which may be separately selectable by a user. When enabled, these features may cause the digital painting application (or simulation module) to automatically clean a virtual paint brush (e.g., by emptying both a reservoir buffer and a pickup buffer of a brush model) and/or automatically fill the virtual paint brush with paint (e.g., by storing data representing paint in the reservoir buffer) between brush strokes. These automated actions may be performed in response to detecting the completion of a brush stroke, or in response to detecting the initiation of a next brush stroke. Settings for these automated actions may be overridden by initiating manual brush cleaning and/or filling operations between strokes (e.g., following any automated actions that are enabled).

摘要： Systems, methods, and apparatus for simulating natural media painting in a digital painting application (or painting simulation module) may more accurately simulate real world painting techniques than conventional painting simulation applications. The digital painting application (or simulation module) may provide a small set of physically meaningful parameters (e.g., canvas wetness, drying rate, and pickup mix ratio). By setting the values of these parameters (or overriding default values for a selected paint type), the user may better control the appearance of brush strokes made by a virtual paint brush on a digital canvas. For example, the length of a brush stroke, the amount of streaking caused by paint picked up during the brush stroke, and/or the mix of paint deposited from a pickup buffer and a reservoir buffer of a brush model may be affected by changing the values of these parameters, thus allowing users to create different realistic painting effects.

摘要： Foreground images, such as cursors, may be displayed over an image by selecting individual pixel colors to contrast with surrounding background pixels. The background pixels in, around and behind the foreground image may be converted from a red-green-blue (RGB) color space to a luminance isolating color space, such as YUV, HSL or the like. The converted pixel information may be copied, stored, or drawn into a separate compositing window. After converting to the luminance isolating color space, the luminance values of the pixels may be adjusted to increase the contrast between the foreground image and the background image. Portions of the foreground image may also be blurred, such as by applying a Gaussian or box blur, such as to soften the edges. The pixel information may then be converted back into the RGB color space and blended with the background information using alpha information for the foreground and background images.
