Abstract

The method of capturing a digital image for viewing from a stream of digital images on a touch display of a digital imaging device includes accessing a stream of digital images comprised of a plurality of individual digital images, selecting an individual image from the stream of digital images by touching the touch display, and automatically saving the selected individual image to a storage device. The method of orienting a digital image for viewing on a touch display of a digital imaging device includes accessing the digital image, the digital image being defined by a plurality of sides, displaying the digital image in a first orientation on the touch display with four corners of the digital imaging device, the display, providing selection means for select at least one of the corners; and automatically displaying the digital image in a second orientation responsive to the selecting of one of the corners.

Claims (17)

1. A method of orienting a digital image for viewing on a touch display of a digital imaging device, the method comprising the steps of:

a. accessing the digital image, wherein the digital image comprises a plurality of sides, wherein each of the plurality of sides is substantially linear;

b. displaying the digital image in a first orientation on the touch display of the digital imaging device, wherein the touch display comprises at least three corners;

c. providing selection means for selecting at least one of the corners; and

d. automatically displaying the digital image in a second orientation responsive to the selecting of one of the corners, wherein the second orientation is configured such that the digital image rotates up to 360 degrees from the first orientation in the direction of the selected corner.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the digital image rotates between 1 and 90 degrees from the first orientation in the direction of the selected corner.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the digital image rotates in increments of 5 degrees each time the corner is selected.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the digital image continues to rotate in the direction of the corner for as long as the corner is selected.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the touch display is a pressure sensitive overlay on an LCD display or a membrane adapted to detect and induction from a device.

6. A method of capturing a digital image for viewing from a stream of digital images on a touch display of a digital imaging device, the method comprising the steps of:

a. accessing a stream of digital images comprised of a plurality of individual digital images;

b. selecting an individual image from the stream of digital images by touching the touch display; and

c. automatically saving the selected individual image to a storage device.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the stream of digital images is from a stored digital image screen.

8. The method of claim 6 , wherein the stream of digital images is from a live feed of digital images.

9. The method of claim 6 , wherein the storage device is an internal digital camera chip, a removable digital camera chip, a hard drive; optical media, or combinations thereof.

10. The method of claim 6 , wherein the touch display is a pressure sensitive overlay on an LCD display or a membrane adapted to detect and induction from a device.
