Abstract

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a display, a processor functionally connected with the display, and a memory functionally connected with the processor. The memory stores instructions configured to, when executed, enable the processor to display a first image through the display, display one or more second images through the display while displaying the first image, select a third image from among the one or more second images, identify a value of at least one property of the third image, generate a filter for applying the value of the at least one property to an image, apply the value of the at least one property to the first image using the filter, display the first image, to which the value of the at least one property is applied, through the display, and store the filter in the memory.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An electronic device, comprising:
a display;
at least one processor coupled to the display; and
memory coupled to the at least one processor,
wherein the memory stores instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor individually or collectively, cause the electronic device to:
display, through the display, a first image,
based on a user input for editing, display, through the display, with the first image, an object for generating a new filter,
based on a first user input on the object, display, through the display, one or more second images,
based on a second user input, select a third image among the one or more second images,
identify a value of at least one property of the third image,
generate the new filter based on the value of the at least one property of the third image,
apply the new filter to the first image to obtain a fourth image,
display, through the display, the fourth image and a thumbnail image of the third image, wherein the thumbnail image of the third image corresponds to the new filter generated based on the value of the at least one property of the third image, and
store, in the memory, the new filter.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor individually or collectively, further cause the electronic device to:
display, through the display, an object for newly generating a second filter along with images individually indicating a plurality of pre-stored filters including the new filter, based on a user input for displaying filters for applying at least one property to another image,
receive a selection of the new filter, and
apply the new filter to the another image.

3. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor individually or collectively, further cause the electronic device to:
display, through the display, an interface for adjusting a strength of the value of the at least one property.

4. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein a text indicating the new filter obtained based on the value of the at least one property of the third image is, through the display, displayed with the thumbnail image.

5. The electronic device of claim 1 , further comprising:
a camera,
wherein the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor individually or collectively, further cause the electronic device to:
execute a camera application,
obtain the first image through the camera while the camera application is executed, and
display, through the display, the first image including a preview image obtained in real time through the camera or a still image.

6. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor individually or collectively, further cause the electronic device to:
based on the first user input on the object, display, through the display, one or more thumbnail images of the one or more second images.

7. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor individually or collectively, further cause the electronic device to:
display, through the display, thumbnail images individually indicating a plurality of pre-stored filters to be applied to another image, the thumbnail images including the thumbnail image indicating the new filter after storing the new filter in the memory.

8. A method for providing a filter in an electronic device, comprising:
displaying, through a display of the electronic device, a first image;
based on a user input for editing, displaying, through the display, with the first image, an object for generating a new filter;
based on a first user input on the object, displaying, through the display, one or more second images;
based on a second user input, selecting a third image among the one or more second images;
identifying a value of at least one property of the third image;
generating the new filter based on the value of the at least one property of the third image;
applying the new filter to the first image to obtain a fourth image;
displaying, through the display, the fourth image and a thumbnail image of the third image, wherein the thumbnail image of the third image corresponds to the new filter generated based on the value of the at least one property of the third image; and
storing, in memory of the electronic device, the new filter.

9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:
displaying, through the display, an object for newly generating a second filter along with images individually indicating a plurality of pre-stored filters including the new filter, based on a user input for displaying filters for applying at least one property to another image;
receiving a selection of the new filter; and
applying the new filter to the another image.

10. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:
displaying, through the display, an interface for adjusting a strength of the value of the at least one property.

11. The method of claim 8 , wherein a text indicating the new filter obtained based on the value of the at least one property of the third image is, through the display, displayed with the thumbnail image.

12. The method of claim 8 , wherein the displaying of the first image comprises:
executing a camera application;
obtaining the first image through a camera of the electronic device while the camera application is executed; and
displaying, through the display, the obtained first image including a preview image obtained in real time through the camera or a still image.

13. The method of claim 8 , wherein based on the first user input on the object, the displaying of the one or more second images comprises:
based on the first user input on the object, displaying, through the display, one or more thumbnail images of the one or more second images.

14. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:
displaying, through the display, thumbnail images individually indicating a plurality of pre-stored filters to be applied to another image, the thumbnail images including the thumbnail image indicating the new filter after storing the new filter in the memory.
