Abstract

A system and method for rendering a digital image in order to recreate a physical instant analog print developing experience for the digital image is provided. The method includes, for example, receiving a digital image at a first computing device from a source over a network, the digital image including characteristic(s) (e.g., contrast, saturation, etc.), each characteristic having a received level; detecting whether the digital image is to be gradually rendered over a predetermined time in order to provide a user with a simulated experience of instant analog print developing; and based on the detecting, gradually rendering the digital image on a display associated with the first computing device over the predetermined time, the gradually rendering including increasing a level of the characteristic(s) until the level reaches the corresponding received level.
