Abstract

The present disclosure generally relates to user interfaces. In some examples, the electronic device provides for transitioning between simulated lighting effects. In some examples, the electronic device applies a simulated lighting effect to an image. In some examples, the electronic device provides user interfaces for applying a filter to an image. In some examples, the electronic device provides for a reduced filter interface. In some examples, the electronic device provides a visual aid displayed in a viewfinder.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs configured to be executed by one or more processors of an electronic device with one or more cameras, one or more input devices, and a display, the one or more programs including instructions for:
displaying, on the display, a camera application user interface for a camera application, wherein the camera application user interface includes concurrently displaying:
a digital viewfinder including a live preview of a field of view of one or more cameras; and
a representation of a filter picker user interface overlaid on the digital viewfinder, wherein the filter picker user interface corresponding to the representation of the filter picker user interface, when displayed, is overlaid on a respective portion of the camera application user interface;

while concurrently displaying the digital viewfinder and the representation of the filter picker user interface, detecting a first input that starts at a location corresponding to the respective portion of the camera application user interface, via the one or more input devices; and
in response to detecting the first input that starts at the location corresponding to the respective portion of the camera application user interface:
in accordance with a determination that first criteria are met, wherein the first criteria include a requirement that the filter picker user interface is overlaid on the respective portion of the live preview when the first input is detected, applying a preview of a first filter to the live preview of the field of view of the one or more cameras that was not applied before the first input was detected; and
in accordance with a determination that the filter picker user interface is not overlaid on the respective portion of the live preview when the first input is detected, performing a respective operation in the camera application without applying the preview of the first filter to the live preview, wherein the respective operation is an operation changing a media capture setting of the camera application;

while displaying the filter picker user interface and while the first filter is being applied to the live preview of the field of view of the one or more cameras, detecting a swipe input on the camera application user interface that starts at a location on the filter picker user interface and moves across the filter picker user interface; and
in response to detecting the swipe input, applying a preview of a second filter, different from the first filter, to the live preview of the field of view.

2. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 1 , the one or more programs further including instructions for:
while the filter picker user interface is displayed and not overlaid on the respective portion of the live preview, detecting a second input that starts at a location corresponding to the filter picker user interface; and
in response to detecting the second input, expanding the filter picker user interface to overlay the respective portion of the live preview.

3. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 1 , wherein the filter picker user interface includes the representation of the filter picker user interface and representations of a plurality of filters.

4. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 2 , wherein expanding the filter picker user interface to overlay the respective portion of the live preview occurs without applying a preview of a filter to the live preview of the field of view of the one or more cameras that was not applied before the second input was detected.

5. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 2 , wherein the representation of the filter picker user interface, when in a first state, is a representation of a container object having a plurality of faces enclosing an internal volume that contains a representation of a first three-dimensional object.

6. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 5 , wherein, while the representation of the filter picker user interface is in a second state different than the first state, the representation of the container object is changed to remove shading and/or lighting effects.

7. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 5 , wherein the filter picker user interface includes the representation of the filter picker user interface and representations of a plurality of filters, while the representation of the filter picker user interface is in the first state, one or more of the faces of the plurality of faces or the internal volume has a visual appearance based on a currently selected filter of the plurality of filters.

8. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 7 , wherein, while the representation of the filter picker user interface is in a second state different than the first state, the visual appearance of the representation of the filter picker user interface is not based on the currently selected filter of the plurality of filters displayed within the internal volume.

9. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 3 , wherein:
while the filter picker user interface is displayed and not overlaid on the respective portion of the live preview, the representation of the filter picker user interface and the representations of a plurality of filters are positioned along a line substantially parallel to an edge of the display.

10. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 3 , wherein:
while the filter picker user interface is overlaid on the respective portion of the live preview, the representation of the filter picker user interface and the representations of the plurality of filters are positioned along a curved line.

11. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 3 , wherein the first input is a tap gesture and wherein the location corresponding to the respective portion of the live preview is a location corresponding to a representation of the first filter in the representations of the plurality of filters.

12. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 3 , wherein:
the representation of the filter picker user interface includes a representation of the first filter, a representation of a second filter, and a representation of a third filter; and
a value of a visual characteristic of the representation of the first filter is different than a value of the visual characteristic of the representation of the second filter and the value of the visual characteristic of the representation of the third filter.

13. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 12 , wherein:
the representation of the second filter is in first direction from the representation of the first filter;
the representation of the third filter is in the first direction from the representation of the second filter; and
the value of the visual characteristic progressively change in a first direction from the representation of the first filter to the representation of the second filter to the representation of the third filter.

14. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein when the filter picker user interface is overlaid on the respective portion of the live preview, the filter picker user interface includes additional information about the first filter displayed in association with the representation of the first filter.

15. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 1 , wherein the first input is a tap gesture and wherein performing the res
