Claim One:
1. A system for manipulating captured light field image data, comprising: a processor; a display connected to the processor and capable of displaying images; a user input device connected to the processor and capable of generating user input data in response to user input; and a memory connected to the processor and storing captured light field image data and an image manipulation application; wherein the captured light field image data comprises image data, pixel position data, and a depth map; wherein the depth map comprises depth information for one or more pixels in the image data; and wherein the image manipulation application directs the processor to: display a first synthesized image based on the image data using the display; receive user input data identifying at least one pixel identifying a region within the first synthesized image using the user input device; determine boundary data for the identified region using the depth map, wherein: boundary data is determined by utilizing the depth information along with color and intensity data to determine at least one boundary at a particular depth within the first synthesized image; and the boundary data describes edges of at least one object within the identified region based on the depth of the pixels in the image data corresponding to the boundary data; receive user input data identifying at least one action to be performed using the user input device, where the action to be performed comprises an image processing operation utilizing the depth information; and perform the received action to the identified region using the boundary data and the captured light field image data.
