First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of dynamically applying image effect filters on an electronic device, comprising:
- dynamically applying a selected image effect filter of a plurality of selectable image effect filters to a portion of an image rendered on a screen as a drag handle also rendered on the screen is moved across the image to dynamically change the size of the filtered portion of the image with respect to the size of an unfiltered portion of the image, the portion of the image to which the selected image effect filter is applied being dynamically changeable in size relative to the unfiltered portion with motion of the drag handle across the image and determined by a position of the handle on the screen;
dynamically displaying the changes to the portion of the image caused by application of the selected image effect filter as the handle is moved across the image rendered on the screen;
selecting another image effect filter of the plurality of selectable image effect filters; and
in response to selecting the another image effect filter, deselecting the previously selected image effect filter and removing application of the previously selected image effect filter to the rendered image.

Abstract
The present disclosure provides for dynamic application of image filters in picture editor applications. A selected filter is dynamically applied to a portion of an image displayed on a screen as a drag handle is moved across the image, the portion of the image to which the selected filter is applied being changeable in size with motion of handle across the image and determined by a position of the handle on the screen. Changes to the portion of the image caused by application of the selected filter are dynamically displayed as the handle is moved across the image displayed on the screen.

3. A method of dynamically applying image effect filters on an electronic device, comprising:
-
dynamically applying a selected image effect filter of a plurality of selectable image effect filters to a portion of an image rendered on a screen as a drag handle also rendered on the screen is moved across the image to dynamically change the size of the filtered portion of the image with respect to the size of an unfiltered portion of the image, the portion of the image to which the selected image effect filter is applied being dynamically changeable in size with motion of the drag handle across the image and determined by a position of the handle on the screen; dynamically displaying the changes to the portion of the image caused by application of the selected image effect filter as the handle is moved across the image rendered on the screen; and in response to a tap on the portion of the image to which the selected image effect filter is applied, applying the selected image effect filter to the entire image rendered on the screen. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15)

4. A method of dynamically applying image effect filters on an electronic device, comprising:
-
dynamically applying a selected image effect filter of a plurality of selectable image effect filters to a portion of an image rendered on a screen as a drag handle also rendered on the screen is moved across the image to dynamically change the size of the filtered portion of the image with respect to the size of an unfiltered portion of the image, the portion of the image to which the selected image effect filter is applied being dynamically changeable in size with motion of the drag handle across the image and determined by a position of the handle on the screen; applying the selected image effect filter to the entire image rendered on the screen in response to the handle being moved and released beyond a threshold line in the image representative of a threshold portion of the image, the threshold line being user definable; and dynamically displaying the changes to the portion of the image caused by application of the selected image effect filter as the handle is moved across the image rendered on the screen. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 16, 17)

10. A method of dynamically applying image effect filters on an electronic device, comprising:
-
dynamically applying a selected image effect filter of a plurality of selectable image effect filters to a portion of an image rendered on a screen as a drag handle also rendered on the screen is moved across the image to dynamically change the size of the filtered portion of the image with respect to the size of an unfiltered portion of the image, the portion of the image to which the selected image effect filter is applied being dynamically changeable in size with motion of the drag handle across the image and determined by a position of the handle on the screen; displaying for selection the plurality of selectable image effect filters in a selection area of the screen; indicating the selected image effect filter of the plurality of selectable image effect filters as selected in the selection area of the screen by highlighting the selected image effect filter in the selection area by one or more of placement of a highlighted box around the selected image effect filter and a color background behind the selected image effect filter; and displaying the changes to the portion of the image caused by application of the selected image effect filter as the handle is moved across the image rendered on the screen. - View Dependent Claims (11, 18, 19)
