CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0001] This application is a Divisional of co-pending application Ser. No. 09/782,608, filed on Feb. 14, 2001, the entire contents of which is hereby incorporated by reference and for which priority is claimed under 35 U.S.C. .sctn. 120. This application also claims the benefit under 35 U.S.C. .sctn. 119(e) of U.S. Provisional Application of Milton Smith entitled "Global Lab Software", Ser. No. 60/182,380, filed on Feb. 14, 2000, the entire contents of which is also incorporated by reference herein.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] 1. Field of the Invention

[0003] The present invention relates generally to image processing, and more particular to the remote and local processing of digital picture image data.

[0004] 2. Description of the Related Art

[0005] 0There are many conventional techniques and systems for developing image data and processing digital images. However, most of these conventional systems are limited in their flexibility in terms of availability, connectability, a wide variety of receivable input formats, and their variety in potential output. This lack of flexibility has made it fairly difficult for users to process digital image files in a variety of input formats, into a plurality of different types of outputs.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0006] The present invention solves these problems by providing a system, software, hardware, and an operator-system interface, which permit users additional flexibility regarding image processing. The system, software, hardware, and OSI interface permit a user to input image information in a wide variety of formats, input the image information in many different ways, process the image information utilizing various techniques, in various languages, and produce outputs in a plurality of different format types and as a plurality of different products.
