Generating image data
First Claim
1. Apparatus Lot processing image data comprising storage means, processing means, manually operable input means and display means, wherein said storage means are configured to store said image data and instructions and said processing means are configured by said instructions to perform the steps ofconfiguring at least one user-operable representation of at least one image data-processing function defined by said instructions with an adjustable opacity, wherein the user-operable representation is created and processed as a three-dimensional object;
- adjusting said opacity of said representation in response to user input received from said manually operable input means;
blending said representation and said image data to generate blended image data; and
outputting said blended image data to said display means.

Abstract
An apparatus, method, system, and article of manufacture provide the ability to process image data in a computer system. A user-operable representation of at least one image-processing function is configured with an adjustable opacity. The user-operable representation is created and processed as a three-dimensional object. The opacity of the representation is adjusted in response to user input. The representation is ten blended with image data to generate blended image data that is output to a display.
