Patent ID: 7593023

Claim:
A method for the creation of randomized custom image effects comprising the steps of: a) allowing a user to select a digital image stored in an electronic device; b) creating plural different random number generator seeds at different times using a digital processor operating on the electronic device, wherein a basis for the different random number generator seeds are continually changing and are created at the different times; c) allowing a user to select one or more digital image post-processing effects, wherein each post-processing effect has a subset of image altering effects including application frequency; d) generating at least one random number using the digital processor operating on the electronic device; e) creating pseudo-random post-processing effects, when selected, to the selected digital image using the at least one random number as a variable in the application of the post-processing effects and the subset of image altering effects, wherein the post-processing effects are changed with associated changes in the plural different random number generator seeds and the application frequency of the subset of image altering effects; and f) saving a copy of the post-processed digital image in a memory.
