Abstract:
1. A method for non-destructive image processing comprising: processing an original image with an image processor, the image processor comprising a plurality of processing modules coupled together in series, the plurality of processing modules in at least one of i) hardware or ii) one or more processors executing machine readable instructions, the original image processed using a first sequence of processing modules to generate a first processed image; after generating the first processed image using the first sequence of processing modules, modifying the first sequence of processing modules to produce a second sequence of processing modules of the image processor by at least one of: i) inserting a first processing module between processing modules in the first sequence, ii) removing a second processing module between a beginning processing module and an ending processing module in the first sequence, or iii) modifying a third processing module between the beginning processing module and the ending processing module in the first sequence; and in response to modifying the image processor, generating a second processed image with the image processor using the second sequence of processing modules and without processing image data with processing modules in the second sequence before i) the first processing module, ii) a location of the second processing module in the second sequence before removal of the second processing module, or iii) the third processing module.
