Abstract
An image capture device includes a processor configured to generate pseudo-random numbers. Optionally, these pseudo-random numbers may use a portion of an image as a seed for the random number generator. These random numbers are used in the post-processing of digital images to create a variety pseudo-random image effects such as; unique frame colors, line thicknesses, line and/or shape placements, image copies, filter strengths, shape choices and color blends. These effects are applied to a selected digital image creating a unique final image.
