Abstract
A system and method for combining a first captured generated digital image. A mask representation of at least a portion of the second prestored digital image is displayed on the device with the captured generated digital image so as to produce a preview image. The system also allows for automatically sizing of text in accordance with a predetermined relationship prior to merging the captured generated digital image and the second prestored image. The system also displays the second prestored digital image at a first DPI resolution with the at least one first captured generated digital image and/or text while the preview image is being displayed so as to produce image merging instructions; and combining the first captured generated digital image and/or text at a second higher DPI resolution in accordance with the image merging instructions so as to form a merged digitally composed image subsequent to viewing the preview image.
