Masking tool
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A device for applying effects on an image, comprising:
- a dynamically movable masking tool comprising a plurality of graphical representations, wherein a portion of the image is altered when an effect is applied to the image, wherein the dynamically movable masking tool simultaneously applies the effect while a user interactively moves the dynamically movable masking tool; and
a connection to a second device, wherein the altered image is communicated from the device to the second device.

Abstract
A system for controlling effects performed on an image includes a digital camera having a display that displays the image. Masking tools position graphical representations on the display to define a portion of the image that is altered when the effects are subsequently applied to the image. The several masking tools may be combined to form a single masking tool.

10. A method of masking, programmed in a memory of a first device, comprising:
-
selecting a dynamically movable masking tool to position a graphical representation of first device, wherein the dynamically movable masking tool simultaneously applies the effect while a user interactively moves the dynamically movable masking tool; positioning the masking tool and establishing a masked portion of an image; and altering a portion of the image when an effect is applied to the image, wherein when the effect is applied to the image having an image resolution, a corresponding effect is applied to the image having a display resolution stored on a second device in communication with the first device. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 21)

14. A system comprising:
-
a first device; and a connected device in communication with the first device, the connected device being adapted to edit an image by controlling a position of a dynamically movable graphical representation to define a portion of the image being altered when an effect is applied to the image, wherein the dynamically movable graphical representation simultaneously applies the effect while a user interactively moves the dynamically movable graphical representation. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
