Abstract

A system and method for modifying the sensitivity of various image-editing parameters in accordance with the result obtained from one or more visual-acuity tests are disclosed. The method generally includes the steps of: identifying a new operator of the image-processing system; presenting a visual-acuity test to the operator via an interface to identify a control parameter sensitivity value associated with the operator's visual acuity limit; and adjusting the control parameter sensitivity value accordingly. The method may be implemented by an image-processing system having an image acquisition device, a processor, a memory device, a user-input device, and a display.
