CURSOR FOR APPLICATION OF IMAGE ADJUSTMENTS

摘要

Systems and techniques are disclosed for applying an effect to a digital image using a cursor. An effect can be applied to an image at a region under a cursor. The cursor has an outer periphery and an effect indicating periphery within the outer periphery. The outer periphery defines a maximum extent to which the effect is applied. The effect indicating periphery indicates how the effect will be applied to the image, such as providing a visual indication of a softness setting.

主权项

1. A computer readable medium encoded with a computer program, the program comprising instructions that when executed by a data processing apparatus cause the data processing apparatus to perform operations comprising:
displaying an image on a display device associated with a computer; displaying a cursor over a region of the image, the cursor having an outer periphery and an effect indicating periphery within the outer periphery; applying an effect at the region:
to a first degree within an inner area defined by an inner periphery located within the outer periphery, andvariably across an outer area defined by the inner periphery and the outer periphery, the effect being graduated from a first intensity at the inner periphery to a second intensity at the outer periphery according to an intensity distribution; and wherein displaying the cursor comprises displaying the effect indicating periphery along a predefined intensity of the distribution between the outer periphery and the inner periphery.
