Image Adjustment Settings Sharing via Structured Files
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing image modification technologies do not allow for efficient sharing and recreation of complex visual effects between content creators, requiring manual experimentation and limited filter options, making it difficult for users to achieve similar visual styles.
Innovation Solution
A system and method for creating and sharing image-adjustment settings, where users can modify image parameters, export settings files, and share them via a link, allowing other users to import and apply these settings to their images, enabling consistent visual styles without manual adjustment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If manual experimentation is used to imitate visual effects, then users can attempt to recreate similar images, but the process becomes inaccurate, difficult, and inefficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a settings file that copies and transfers the exact modification parameters from a first image to a second image. Instead of manual experimentation, the system extracts all adjustment settings (exposure, contrast, saturation, etc.) into a structured file format that can be imported by other users, ensuring accurate reproduction of visual effects without subjective interpretation
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a settings file as an intermediary between the first user's modifications and the second user's image editing. This intermediary object contains all the modification parameters in a structured format, serving as a precise mediator that transfers the exact visual effect settings without loss of information or accuracy
2Adaptability or versatility
If pre-existing filters are used for image modification, then the process is simple, but the effects are very limited and users cannot modify the filters themselves
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the image modification process into individual adjustable parameters (exposure, contrast, saturation, temperature, etc.) rather than using monolithic pre-existing filters. Each parameter can be independently adjusted and exported, allowing users to create complex custom effects by combining multiple parameter adjustments while maintaining ease of use through the settings file interface
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transforms static pre-existing filters into dynamic, user-modifiable settings. The settings file contains all modification parameters that can be adjusted by users before export, enabling the filters to adapt to different user needs and preferences while maintaining a simple operational interface through automated export and import functions
3Adaptability or versatility
If users want to share complex modifications, then more visual effects can be achieved, but previous approaches do not allow efficient creation or sharing of these modifications
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary action by automatically generating and exporting the settings file containing all modification parameters before sharing occurs. The system extracts and organizes all adjustment settings into a structured file format in advance, so that when users share the settings file, the complex modifications are already packaged and ready for immediate import and application, eliminating the time-consuming process of manual parameter transfer

AI summary
A system for sharing settings for modifying images is described. In an example embodiment, an image-modification application may display an image and editing elements in a user interface programed to edit image-adjustment settings that affect aspects of the image on the user interface. The image-modification application may receive user inputs modifying the editing elements and, in response, modify image-adjustment settings and apply the modified image-adjustment settings to the visual aspects of the image. In some embodiments, the image-modification application may receive a first user input requesting to export a settings file including the modified image-adjustment settings, generate the settings file based on the modified image-adjustment settings, and export the settings file.
