Improved method of combining two digital images

摘要

A method of combining at least one captured generated digital image and/or text with at least one prestored digital image. The prestored digital image has a predetermined location where the captured generated digital image may be placed. A design characteristic is determined from an item to be associated with merged image. The captured generated digital image or the prestored image is modified in accordance with the design characteristic so as to form a first modified image and are then combined so as to form a newly merged digital image. The merged image is sent to an output device for printing. Alternatively, a product to be used with or associated with the merged image is automatically selected in accordance with predetermined color relationship with respect to the color of the customer generated image, the prestored image and/or merged digital image. <IMAGE>
