Abstract

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can provide a first option to modify one or more shadow regions of a media content item. A second option to modify one or more highlight regions of the media content item can be provided. The second option can be provided in conjunction with the first option. A selection of at least one of the first option or the second option can be detected. At least one set of color swatches can be provided, based on the selection, for modifying at least one of: 1) the one or more shadow regions or 2) the one or more highlight regions.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
providing, by a computing system, in a user interface a first option to modify one or more shadow regions of a media content item;
providing, by the computing system, in the user interface a second option to modify one or more highlight regions of the media content item, the second option being provided in conjunction with the first option;
detecting, by the computing system, a selection of at least one of the first option or the second option via the user interface;
providing, by the computing system, based on the selection, in the user interface at least one set of color swatches for modifying at least one of: 1) the one or more shadow regions or 2) the one or more highlight regions; and
providing, by the computing system, in response to a selection of a particular color swatch out of the at least one set of color swatches, an interactive element for adjusting a color intensity associated with the particular color swatch.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:
detecting that the particular color swatch has been selected out of the at least one set of color swatches;
detecting a trigger to provide access to the interactive element for adjusting a color intensity associated with the particular color swatch; and
providing the access to the interactive element based on detecting the trigger.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 2 , wherein the trigger is associated with at least one of a system setting, a tap gesture, a hold gesture, a swipe gesture, a mouse click operation, a mouse hold operation, a mouse hover operation, or a mouse drag operation.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 2 , further comprising:
dynamically applying a modification, based on the selection, to a visual appearance associated with the at least one of: 1) the one or more shadow regions or 2) the one or more highlight regions, the modification utilizing, at least in part, the particular color swatch.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 4 , further comprising:
dynamically presenting a preview for the media content item based on the modification being applied to the visual appearance associated with the at least one of: 1) the one or more shadow regions or 2) the one or more highlight regions.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 4 , further comprising:
acquiring, via the interactive element, a color intensity input to adjust the color intensity associated with the particular color swatch; and
dynamically updating the modification based on the color intensity input.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 6 , further comprising:
dynamically presenting at least one of a value representing the color intensity input or a color intensity visualization representing the color intensity input.

8. The computer-implemented method of claim 6 , further comprising:
determining at least one of a maximum color intensity level or a minimum color intensity level for the color intensity associated with the particular color swatch; and
associating, respectively, at least one of a maximum endpoint or a minimum endpoint of the interactive element with the at least one of the maximum color intensity level or the minimum color intensity level, wherein the interactive element corresponds to a scrollable element including the maximum endpoint and the minimum endpoint.

9. The computer-implemented method of claim 8 , wherein determining the at least one of the maximum color intensity level or the minimum color intensity level is based on at least one of manual effort or a machine-learning process.

10. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:
enabling navigation through the at least one set of color swatches, wherein the at least one set of color swatches includes one or more distinct color swatches, and wherein the navigation through the at least one set of color swatches includes scrolling through at least some of the one or more distinct color swatches.

11. A system comprising:
at least one processor; and
a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to perform:
providing in a user interface a first option to modify one or more shadow regions of a media content item;
providing in the user interface a second option to modify one or more highlight regions of the media content item, the second option being provided in conjunction with the first option;
detecting a selection of at least one of the first option or the second option via the user interface;
providing, based on the selection, in the user interface at least one set of color swatches for modifying at least one of: 1) the one or more shadow regions or 2) the one or more highlight regions; and
providing in response to a selection of a particular color swatch out of the at least one set of color swatches, an interactive element for adjusting a color intensity associated with the particular color swatch.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the instructions cause the system to further perform:
detecting that the particular color swatch has been selected out of the at least one set of color swatches;
detecting a trigger to provide access to the interactive element for adjusting a color intensity associated with the particular color swatch; and
providing the access to the interactive element based on detecting the trigger.

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the instructions cause the system to further perform:
dynamically applying a modification, based on the selection, to a visual appearance associated with the at least one of: 1) the one or more shadow regions or 2) the one or more highlight regions, the modification utilizing, at least in part, the particular color swatch.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the instructions cause the system to further perform:
dynamically presenting a preview for the media content item based on the modification being applied to the visual appearance associated with the at least one of: 1) the one or more shadow regions or 2) the one or more highlight regions.

15. The system of claim 13 , wherein the instructions cause the system to further perform:
acquiring, via the interactive element, a color intensity input to adjust the color intensity associated with the particular color swatch; and
dynamically updating the modification based on the color intensity input.

16. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a computing system, cause the computing system to perform a method comprising:
providing in a user interface a first option to modify one or more shadow regions of a media content item;
providing in the user interface a second option to modify one or more highlight regions of the media content item, the second option being provided in conjunction with the first option;
detecting a selection of at least one of the first option or the second option via the user interface;
providing, based on the selection, in the user interface at least one set of color swatches for modifying at least one of: 1) the one or more shadow regions or 2) the one or more highlight regions; and
providing in response to a selection of a particular color swatch out of the at least one set of color swatches, an interactive element for adjusting a color intensity associated with the particular color swatch.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the instructions cause the computing system to furthe
