Identifying dominant and non-dominant images in a burst mode capture
For cameras that capture several images in a burst mode, some embodiments of the invention provide a method that presents one or more of the captured images differently than the remaining captured images. The method identifies at least one captured image as dominant image and at least another captured image as a non-dominant image. The method then displays each dominant image different from each non-dominant image in a concurrent presentation of the images captured during the burst mode. The dominant images may appear larger than non-dominant images, and/or appear with a marking that indicates that the images are dominant.
1. A method, comprising:
at an electronic device with a display, a camera, and one or more processors:
capturing, with the camera, a plurality of images in a single burst mode capture;
automatically designating a set of two or more of the captured images as dominant images;
in a presentation of the plurality of images captured during the single burst mode capture, presenting the dominant images in a different manner from non-dominant images in the plurality of images, wherein the presenting includes, for each respective image that is a dominant image, displaying a marking with the respective image that indicates that the respective image is a dominant image; and,
in response to a user's selection of the marking with the respective image,
designating the respective image as a non-dominant image; and
presenting the designated respective image without the marking that indicates that the respective image is a dominant image.
2. The method of claim 1 further comprising providing an option to retain only the set of two or more of the captured images designated as dominant images and to delete any remaining images from the plurality of images captured during the single burst mode capture.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein each respective dominant image of the dominant images appears larger than each respective non-dominant image of the non-dominant images in the presentation.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the user's selection of the marking with the respective image includes a single finger tap gesture on the marking.
5. A method, comprising:
at an electronic device with a display, a camera, and one or more processors:
capturing, with the camera, a plurality of images in a single burst mode capture;
automatically designating a set of two or more of the captured images as dominant images; and
in a presentation of the plurality of images captured during the single burst mode capture, presenting the dominant images in a different manner from non-dominant images in the plurality of images, wherein the presenting includes, for each respective image that is a non-dominant image, displaying a marking with the respective image that indicates that the respective image is a non-dominant image.
6. The method of claim 5 further comprising:
in response to a user's selection of the marking, designating the respective image as a dominant image; and
presenting the designated respective image without the marking in the presentation.
7. An electronic device, comprising:
a display;
a camera;
memory;
one or more processors; and
memory; and
one or more programs, wherein the one or more programs are stored in the memory and configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
capturing, with the camera, a plurality of images in a single burst mode capture;
automatically designating a set of two or more of the captured images as dominant images;
in a presentation of the plurality of images captured during the single burst mode capture, presenting the dominant images in a different manner from non-dominant images in the plurality of images, wherein the presenting includes, for each respective image that is a dominant image, displaying a marking with the respective image that indicates that the respective image is a dominant image; and,
in response to a user's selection of the marking with the respective image,
designating the respective image as a non-dominant image; and
presenting the designated respective image without the marking that indicates that the respective image is a dominant image.
8. The device of claim 7 , including instructions for providing an option to retain only the set of two or more of the captured images designated as dominant images and to delete any remaining images from the plurality of images captured during the single burst mode capture.
9. The device of claim 7 , wherein each respective dominant image of the dominant images appears larger than each respective non-dominant image of the non-dominant images in the presentation.
10. The device of claim 7 , wherein the user's selection of the marking with the respective image includes a single finger tap gesture on the marking.
11. An electronic device, comprising:
a display;
a camera;
memory;
one or more processors; and
memory; and
one or more programs, wherein the one or more programs are stored in the memory and configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
capturing, with the camera, a plurality of images in a single burst mode capture;
automatically designating a set of two or more of the captured images as dominant images; and
in a presentation of the plurality of images captured during the single burst mode capture, presenting the dominant images in a different manner from non-dominant images in the plurality of images, wherein the presenting includes, for each respective image that is a non-dominant image, displaying a marking with the respective image that indicates that the respective image is a non-dominant image.
12. The device of claim 11 , including instructions for:
in response to a user's selection of the marking, designating the respective image as a dominant image; and
presenting the designated respective image without the marking in the presentation.
13. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs, the one or more programs comprising instructions, which when executed by an electronic device with a display, and a camera, cause the device to:
capture, with the camera, a plurality of images in a single burst mode capture;
automatically designate a set of two or more of the captured images as dominant images;
in a presentation of the plurality of images captured during the single burst mode capture, present the dominant images in a different manner from non-dominant images in the plurality of images, wherein the presenting includes, for each respective image that is a dominant image, displaying a marking with the respective image that indicates that the respective image is a dominant image; and,
in response to a user's selection of the marking with the respective image,
designate the respective image as a non-dominant image; and
present the designated respective image without the marking that indicates that the respective image is a dominant image.
14. The computer readable storage medium of claim 13 , including instructions, which when executed by the electronic device with the display, and the camera, cause the device to provide an option to retain only the set of two or more of the captured images designated as dominant images and to delete any remaining images from the plurality of images captured during the single burst mode capture.
15. The computer readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein each respective dominant image of the dominant images appears larger than each respective non-dominant image of the non-dominant images in the presentation.
16. The computer readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the user's selection of the marking with the respective image includes a single finger tap gesture on the marking.
17. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs, the one or more programs comprising instructions, which when executed by an electronic device with a display, and a camera, cause the device to:
capture, with the camera, a plurality of images in a single burst mode capture;
automatically designate a set of two or more of the captured images as dominant images; and
in a presentation of the plurality of images captured during the single burst mode capture, present the dominant images in a different manner from non-dominant images in the plurality of images, wherein the presenting includes, for each respective image that is a non-dominant image, displaying a marking with the respective image that indicates that the respective image is a non-dominant image.
18. The computer readable storage medium of claim 17 , including instructions, which when executed by the electronic device with the display, and the camera, cause the device to:
in response to a user's selection of the marking, designate the respective image as a dominant image; and
