Abstract

A digital image processing apparatus and a method of controlling the digital image processing apparatus, the digital image processing apparatus including: a display unit to display an image; a tool generation unit to generate an editing tool that applies an image editing effect to a displayed image; an effect generation unit to generate the image editing effect depending on a movement of the editing tool; and a contents generation units to generate a moving image including a generation process of the image editing effect and the movement of the editing tool.

Claims

1. A digital image processing apparatus comprising:

a display unit to display an image;

a tool generation unit to generate an editing tool that applies an image editing effect to a displayed image;

an effect generation unit to generate the image editing effect depending on a movement of the editing tool; and

a contents generation units to generate a moving image including a generation process of the image editing effect and the movement of the editing tool.

2. The digital image processing apparatus of claim 1, wherein the displayed image and the moving image are stored in a single file.

3. The digital image processing apparatus of claim 2, wherein the contents generation unit is to record information relating the displayed image with the moving image in an exchangeable image file format (EXIF) area of the single file.

4. The digital image processing apparatus of claim 1, wherein the displayed image and the moving image are stored in separate files.

5. The digital image processing apparatus of claim 1, wherein the image is a quick view image that is temporarily displayed on the display unit after still image capture.

6. The digital image processing apparatus of claim 5, wherein the editing tool is displayed on the display unit during the performance of an image signal processing due to the still image capture.

7. The digital image processing apparatus of claim 1, wherein the image is an image reproduced from a stored image.

8. The digital image processing apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a manipulation unit to move the editing tool.

9. The digital image processing apparatus of claim 8, wherein the manipulation unit comprises a touch panel.

10. The digital image processing apparatus of claim 8, wherein the manipulation unit comprises input keys.

11. The digital image processing apparatus of claim 1, wherein the editing tool comprises at least one of a watercolor painting brush, an oil painting brush, or a pencil.

12. The digital image processing apparatus of claim 11, wherein the tool generation unit is to generate usable editing tools according to a manipulation signal of a user and then displays the usable editing tools.

13. The digital image processing apparatus of claim 12, wherein the tool generation unit is to display an editing tool selected from among the displayed usable editing tools, and the effect generation unit is to generate an intrinsic image editing effect of the selected editing tool.

14. A method of controlling a digital image processing apparatus, the method comprising:

displaying an image;

displaying an editing tool to generate an image editing effect;

displaying the image editing effect depending on a movement of the editing tool; and

generating a moving image including a generation process of the image editing effect and the movement of the editing tool.

15. The method of claim 14, wherein the displaying of the editing tool comprises:

generating usable editing tools according to a manipulation signal of a user;

displaying the usable editing tools; and

displaying an editing tool selected from among the displayed usable editing tools.

16. The method of claim 15, wherein the displaying of the image editing effect comprises generating an intrinsic image editing effect of the selected editing tool.

17. The method of claim 14, further comprising storing the displayed image and the moving image in separate files.

18. The method of claim 14, further comprising storing the displayed image and the moving image in a single file.

19. The method of claim 14, further comprising capturing a still image,

wherein the displaying of the image comprises displaying a quick view image that is temporarily displayed on a display unit after the capture of the still image.

20. The method of claim 14, further comprising extracting a stored image,

wherein the displaying of the image comprises displaying the extracted image.

21. A digital image processing apparatus comprising:

a storage unit to store a still image and a moving image related to the still image;

a display unit to display the stored still image and moving image; and

a control unit to display the display unit,

wherein the moving image comprises a generation process of an image editing effect generated by a user for the still image and a movement of an editing tool to generate the image editing effect.

22. The digital image processing apparatus of claim 21, wherein the still image or the moving image is selectively reproduced.

23. The digital image processing apparatus of claim 21, wherein, when reproducing the still image, the moving image is first reproduced and the still image is reproduced after the reproduction of the moving image is finished.

24. The digital image processing apparatus of claim 21, wherein the storage unit is to store the still image and the moving image as a single file.

25. The digital image processing apparatus of claim 24, wherein a user interface to execute a reproduction of the moving image is displayed during a reproduction of the still image.

26. The digital image processing apparatus of claim 21, wherein the storage unit is to store the still image and the moving image as separate files.

27. The digital image processing apparatus of claim 21, further comprising a contents generation unit to generate another still image by capturing a frame of the moving image depending on a capture signal when reproducing the moving image.

28. A method of controlling a digital image processing apparatus that stores a still image and a moving image related to the still image, the method comprising:

when reproducing the moving image, reproducing a generation process of an image editing effect generated by a user and a movement of an editing tool to generate the image editing effect.

29. The method of claim 28, wherein the still image or the moving image is selectively reproduced.

30. The method of claim 29, wherein a user interface to execute a reproduction of the moving image is displayed during a reproduction of the still image.

31. The method of claim 28, wherein, when reproducing the still image, the moving image is first reproduced and the still image is reproduced after the reproduction of the moving image is finished.

32. The method of claim 28, wherein, when reproducing the moving image, another still image is generated by capturing a frame of the moving image depending on a capture signal.
