First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for displaying graphical representations of digital images, the method comprising:
- displaying representations of a plurality of digital images;
reading attribute values related to an attribute of said digital images;
automatically grouping said digital images into one or more groups based on the attribute values for said attributes; and
in response to said grouping, modifying the display of the representations in a manner that reflects the group to which each image belongs, wherein;
said group is arranged in an order;
said display of the representations comprises visually representing said group with the first representation of the digital image from said order; and
in response to user input, changing said order of said group of images in response to changing the identity of said representative image.

15. A computer-readable medium carrying one or more sequences of instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to perform the steps of:
-
displaying representations of a plurality of digital images;
reading attribute values related to an attribute of said digital images;
automatically grouping said digital images into one or more groups based on the values of said attributes, wherein said automatic grouping comprises a comparison of said attributes; and
in response to said grouping, modifying the display of the representations in a manner that reflects the group to which each image belongs, wherein;
said group is arranged in an order;
said display of the representations comprises visually representing said group with the first representation of the digital image from said order; and
in response to user input, changing said order of said group of images in response to changing the identity of said representative image.

29. A method for displaying graphical representations of digital images, the method comprising:
-
displaying representations of a plurality of digital images;
reading attribute values related to an attribute of said digital images, wherein said attribute values comprise a file creation date and time;
automatically grouping said digital images into one or more groups based on the attribute values for said attributes, wherein said automatic grouping comprises a comparison of said attributes; and
in response to said grouping, modifying the display of the representations in a manner that reflects the group to which each image belongs, wherein said modification comprises organizing said representations into stacks, and wherein;
said group is arranged in an order;
said display of the representations comprises visually representing said group with the first representation of the digital image from said order; and
in response to user input, changing said order of said group of images in response to changing the identity of said representative image.

30. A computer-readable medium carrying one or more sequences of instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to perform the steps of:
-
displaying representations of a plurality of digital images;
reading attribute values related to an attribute of said digital images;
automatically grouping said digital images into one or more groups based on the attribute values for said attributes, wherein said automatic grouping comprises a comparison of said attributes; and
visually representing a group of associated digital images using a single digital image, from the set, that has been designated as a pick images;
in response to user input, changing an order of said group of images; and
in response to said changing said order, changing said attribute values to reflect said new order.
