20. A method comprising:
-
(a) displaying, to a user via an electronic device, a graphic user interface (GUI) comprising two display regions to display representations of digital objects, the GUI capable of displaying the display regions simultaneously, the display regions comprising; (i) a resource display region, and (ii) a selection display region; (b) wherein the GUI is configured to enable the user to select object representations displayed in the resource display region to be displayed in the selection display region, and wherein multiple object representations can be displayed in the selection display region; (c) wherein the digital objects include digi images and video files, and the object representations for such digi images and video files in the selection display region are geometrically larger than the representation of the object in the resource display region; (d) wherein the object representation in the selection display region comprises an image of the object; (e) wherein the object representations in the resource region comprise at least one of text associated with the object and/or an image of the object; (f) wherein, upon a user selecting an object representation in the resource display region, a reference is made to the associated digital object and the object is appropriately sized to generate the object representation in the selection display region; (g) wherein the GUI is configured such that a user can select an object representation in the selection display region such that an enlarged representation of the object is displayed; (h) wherein the GUI is configured such that the user can reposition the object representations within the selection display region; (i) wherein the object representations in the resource display region preferably reference a respective storage location/address; (j) wherein the object representations shown in the resource display region are of a smaller data size than the digital objects that they represent; (k) wherein the object representations in the resource display region are generated from the respective originating digital objects; (l) wherein the GUI is configured to allow a user to alter one or more characteristics of an object displayed in the display region, and wherein such alterations are stored as a copy of an originating version of the object; (m) wherein the GUI is configured such that digital objects included in the selection display region are maintained in said region when the user selects different objects to be displayed in the resource display region; (n) wherein the GUI is configured to generate a copy of an originating digital object when a user causes an object in the resource display region to be displayed on the selection display region; and (o) wherein the GUI is configured such that when a user causes an object to be displayed in the selection display region a copy of the object is generated, and said copy is used to generate the display of the object on the selection display region.
