Abstract
A photograph acquired by a camera, such as a smartphone, may include at least a part of a display device, such as a television or computer monitor. The display device may present a displayed image on the display device at the time of the photograph. The camera may send a request that may be processed by a source device such the television or a desktop computer. Responsive to the request, a presented image may be provided that corresponds to the displayed image on the display device at the time of the photograph. The presented image may then be used instead of the photograph, may be stored in addition to the photograph, may be used to update a portion of the photograph, and so forth.
