ARTISTIC DIGITAL TEMPLATE FOR IMAGE DISPLAY
First Claim
1. A computer system for creating a coordinated image display, the computer system comprising:
- digital memory for storing a digital template for said image display, said template having a plurality of digital openings disposed therein for displaying digital images;
each of the plurality of openings having at least one corresponding required image attribute, the group of at least one corresponding required image attribute for each of the plurality of openings being stored in the digital memory as a template recipe; and
wherein said template recipe includes at least one required image attribute for a dependent opening, said at least one required image attribute for a dependent opening defined to be dependent upon at least one image attribute of an image currently selected for another opening of the template.

Abstract
A computer system for creating a coordinated image display using a digital template for designing 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 definition of the attribute. Altogether, the required image attributes for openings belonging to one template are stored as a template recipe. The 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, i.e. if the old image no longer satisfies the dependent attribute requirements.
