摘要： A method and machine-readable medium for adjusting image saturation is disclosed. A designation of a change in a selected saturation distribution value of an image is received from a user. A saturation curve is automatically generated on a saturation histogram so that the saturation curve passes through the changed saturation distribution value. Saturation of the image is automatically adjusted based on the saturation curve.

摘要： A system and related techniques generate and present a set of linked, dynamically interactive image processing controls for image editing and optimization tasks. In embodiments a user interface may present a set of global editing modes such as color manipulation, exposure correction or others. Each mode may contain a hierarchical set of basic, intermediate and advanced controls such as one-button automatic fixes, color or saturation sliders or editable histograms or other curves. When a user wishes, for instance, to achieve a warmer color balance or perform other color-correction tasks, the system may automatically detect adjustments in one or more parameters, such as CMYK values, and automatically adjust the values of other parameters to enhance the intended correction or action. For instance when the magenta content on a CMYK slider is increased, the color saturation may be slightly increased or color temperature may be slightly raised, to create a warmer appearance in the color cast of the image. Other combinations of image parameters may be linked. According to embodiments, a set of editable curves such as histograms or gamma curves may be dragged or otherwise adjusted or manipulated by users, and saved for re-application to other images or at other times.

摘要翻译： 系统和相关技术生成并呈现一组链接的动态交互式图像处理控件，用于图像编辑和优化任务。 在实施例中，用户界面可以呈现一组全局编辑​​模式，诸如颜色操纵，曝光校正等。 每个模式可以包含基本，中间和高级控件的分层集合，例如一键自动修复，颜色或饱和度滑块或可编辑直方图或其他曲线。 例如，当用户希望实现较暖的色彩平衡或执行其他颜色校正任务时，系统可以自动检测一个或多个参数（例如CMYK值）中的调整，并自动调整其他参数的值以增强 意图纠正或行动。 例如，当CMYK滑块上的品红色内容增加时，颜色饱和度可能稍微增加或色温稍微升高，以在图像的颜色变形中产生较暖的外观。 图像参数的其他组合可以被链接。 根据实施例，一组可编辑的曲线（诸如直方图或伽玛曲线）可以被用户拖动或以其它方式调整或操纵，并被保存以重新应用于其他图像或其它时间。

摘要： A system and method for automatically grouping items, e.g., digital photographs, by analyzing the statistical distributions of at least one piece of information associated with each of the items, for instance, creation time, are provided. In one embodiment, the creation time may be converted into a numeric value and the numeric values placed in ascending order such that gaps between adjacent numeric values may be determined. Subsequently, a median difference may be determined as well as an optimum difference. The items may then be organized into groups such that an additional group is created each time the difference between the numeric value for an item and the numeric value for the adjacent item located therebelow in the ascending array is greater than the optimum difference.

摘要： A system, a method and computer-readable media for presenting groups of items to a user. Items are divided into groups, and a group header is associated with each group. The items and group headers are presented on a screen display, and the displayed content is subject to navigational requests from a user. When one of the group headers is located near an edge of the screen display, its position is fixed to prevent the header from being removed from the screen display.

摘要： A method to expose status information is provided. The status information is associated with metadata extracted from multimedia files and stored in a metadata database. The metadata information that is extracted from the multimedia files is stored in a read queue to allow a background thread to process the metadata and populate the metadata database. Additionally, the metadata database may be updated to include user-define metadata, which is written back to the multimedia files. The user-defined metadata is included in a write queue and is written to the multimedia files associated with the user-defined metadata. The status of the read and write queues are exposed to a user through a graphical user interface. The status may include the list of multimedia files included in the read and write queues, the priorities of each multimedia file, and the number of remaining multimedia files.

摘要： A method for applying localized image effects to digital images is provided. The method includes receiving a selection representing a location in proximity to a region in the digital image requiring one or more correction. The region requiring correction is processed by an image processing engine to determine the boundaries of the region. The image processing engine applies one or more image effects to the region and varies an intensity level associated with each image effect according to the number clicks received at the location in proximity to the region requiring the correction.

摘要： Computer system navigation tools provide “links” to various different files, lists, folders, and/or other storage elements and allow users to organize files, e.g., by hierarchical properties, lists, auto lists, folders, and the like. Such systems and methods allow users to assign properties to a file (optionally in a hierarchical manner), to change assigned properties, to search, view, and retrieve information based on the assigned properties, and the like.

摘要： A computer-implemented method of automatically suggesting a cropped area of a digital image. An area of interest in an original image is determined. A design rule is applied to the area of interest to determine a suggested crop area of the original image. The suggested cropped area of the original image is presented to a user such that the suggested crop area may be resized, relocated, or accepted by the user. The cropped image may be presented to the user. Also, a computer-implemented method of automatically cropping a digital image. An area of interest in an original image is determined. A design rule is applied to the area of interest to determine a suggested crop area of the original image. The original image is cropped according to the suggested crop area. The cropped image is presented to a user or is stored. The design rule may be the Rule of Thirds or another, more sophisticated rule.

摘要： Automated maintenance of media content such as digital photographs and video in a pool is provided by an arrangement where the time interval that each piece of media content remains in the pool is tracked and modified by user-behavioral factors. This “virtual age” of the media content is depicted on a representative image displayed by a graphical user interface through the use of visual metaphors that simulate the physical characteristics of an object such as a printed photograph as it ages. As the virtual age of the content increases, visual metaphors including fading or yellowing, and physical deterioration such as tattering, creasing, and ripping are overlaid as effects onto the displayed image. Older content is displayed using other respective images which have increased fading or yellowing and greater physical deterioration until, in one example, an image appears to crumble to dust, at which point the associated media content is automatically deleted from the pool.

摘要翻译： 通过这样一种安排提供媒体内容（如数字照片和视频在池中）的自动维护，其中每个媒体内容保留在池中的时间间隔由用户行为因素进行跟踪和修改。 媒体内容的这个“虚拟时代”通过使用视觉隐喻在由图形用户界面显示的代表性图像上描绘，所述视觉隐喻模拟对象的物理特征，诸如打印照片在其老化时的物理特性。 随着内容的虚拟时代的增加，视觉隐喻包括衰落或变黄，以及物理劣化如破碎，褶皱和撕裂等作为对显示图像的影响。 使用其他各自的图像显示较旧的内容，其中各种图像具有增加的衰落或泛黄以及更大的物理劣化，直到在一个示例中，图像看起来粉碎成粉尘，此时相关的媒体内容将从池中自动删除。
