1. A system for manipulating captured light field image data, comprising:

  • a processor;

    a display connected to the processor and configured to display images;

    a user input device connected to the processor and configured to generate user input data in response to user input; and

    a memory connected to the processor and configured to store captured light field image data and an image manipulation application;

    wherein the captured light field image data comprises image data, pixel position data, and a depth map;

    wherein the depth map comprises depth information for one or more pixels in the image data; and

    wherein the image manipulation application configures the processor to;

    display a first synthesized image based on the image data using the display;

    receive user input data identifying at least one pixel identifying a region within the first synthesized image using the user input device;

    determine boundary data for the identified region using the depth map, where the boundary data describes the edges of the identified region;

    receive user input data identifying at least one action to be performed using the user input device, where the action to be performed comprises an image processing operation; and

    perform the received action using the boundary data and the captured light field image data.
