Benefits of technology

The application described in this patent stores images in a way that allows for quick viewing and editing of the images. The application uses a non-destructive method to preserve the original image when it is edits. Additionally, the application allows users to share their images with other users of the application. The image is sent in a non-destructive form, allowing the recipient to view and edit the image as needed, and even send it to other users. This feature provides a more convenient and flexible way to work with images within the application.

Problems solved by technology

This usually results in the user spending an inordinate amount of time editing the image, and, at the end, the user may still not be able to edit the image in way that the user wishes.

In many instances, the user knows what the user wants the image to look like, but the user either lacks the knowledge to produce the desired appearance of the image and / or the user cannot find the tools in the image editing application that allows the user to produce the desired appearance.

Thus, many users may need to spend a large amount of time learning to use the media editing application.

Therefore, if a user makes a mistake or wishes to changed or undo edits, the user has to start over by editing the original image file or the user has to fix the mistake by further editing the image.
