ELIMINATING IMAGE ARTIFACTS USING IMAGE-LAYER SNAPSHOTS

Abstract:

Methods and systems disclosed herein relate generally to systems and methods for using image-layer snapshots to eliminate image artifacts. A pixel-adjustment module receives an indication of the selected region within a first image layer of an image. In response, the pixel-adjustment module generates a first snapshot of the first image layer, in which the first snapshot includes pixel data for restoring a first state of the first image layer at which the selected region is yet to be modified. The pixel-adjustment module generates a second image layer, in which the image structure-modification operation is applied to the pixel of the second image layer that corresponds to the selected region. The pixel-adjustment module modifies a pixel in the selected region to include at least part of the pixel data from the first snapshot.
