Benefits of technology

The patent application uses a fluid model to make adjustments to color values in an image, which allows for smooth and precise adjustments while minimizing the effects of posterization. The application also includes a color channel histogram representation that accurately presents all pixels of the image, regardless of their luminance values. This representation enables users to properly analyze and edit the image to their desired effect.

Problems solved by technology

Many media-editing applications, however, do not provide intuitive color adjustment controls.
These deficiencies cause unnecessary inconvenience in editing an image.

Embodiment Construction

[0062]In the following detailed description of the invention, numerous details, examples, and embodiments of the invention are set forth and described. However, it will be clear and apparent to one skilled in the art that the invention is not limited to the embodiments set forth and that the invention may be practiced without some of the specific details and examples discussed.

[0063]Some embodiments of the invention provide several novel user interfaces (UIs) for editing a set of images in a media-editing application. For instance, the media-editing application of some embodiments provides a graphical representation of the color values of an image and allows a user to edit the color values of the image by modifying the graphical representation. In this manner, the graphical representation serves as a tool in the user interface that the user can select and manipulate. Based on the user's manipulation of the graphical representation, the application generates a color space transform. ...

Abstract

A non-transitory machine readable medium that has a computer program for displaying color values of at least one particular color channel of an image includes several pixels is described. The computer program retrieves a color value for each pixel in the plurality of pixels of the image. The computer program displays a graphical presentation of a distribution of color values of the image along the particular color channel. The graphical presentation includes (1) a first set of color values of the image that fall within minimum and maximum cutoff values for the particular color channel, and (2) a second set of color values of the image that fall outside the minimum and maximum cutoff values.

Description

CLAIM OF BENEFIT TO PRIOR APPLICATION[0001]This application claims benefit to U.S. Provisional Patent Application 61 / 595,650, entitled “Intuitive Media Editing,” filed Feb. 6, 2012. The U.S. Provisional Patent Application 61 / 595,650 is incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUND[0002]Digital graphic design, image editing, and video editing applications (hereafter collectively referred to as media content editing applications or media editing applications) provide graphical designers, media artists, and other users with the necessary tools to view, analyze, and edit a variety of media content. Examples of such applications include iPhoto®, Aperture®, Final Cut Pro® and iMovie®, all sold by Apple, Inc. These applications give users the ability to analyze and edit images and videos in a variety of manners. For example, some applications provide different graphical representations of the color values of an image (e.g., histogram representation, waveform representation, vectorscope repre...
