ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for creating a video image of a subsequent photographic print having a posed subject and a selected special effects modification added to it. Included are a computer having a data input device, a data storage device preferably housing a plurality of special effects, a data recall device, a video image capture device, and a video display device. The video image capture device provides a video image of a posed subject on the video display device, while the data recall device provides a special effect from the data storage device. Both the posed subject and the special effect are simultaneously displayed on the video display device to thereby create a combination display of the special effect and the posed subject. Examples of special effects which can be stored for recall include vignetting, burnt corners, a blend for double exposure, soft focus, captions and graphics. In this manner, a subject to be photographed can view a selection of special effects modifications to the video image and thereafter choose a desired combination of the two.
