Abstract

A change to an image is synchronized. A modified image is obtained at a first device where the modified image is associated with modified metadata. The modified metadata is stored in a store associated with the first device. The metadata is sent from the first device to a second device, where the modified image is able to be generated on the second device using the modified metadata and a preexisting image file on the second device.
