A method of rendering a low-resolution thumbnail image at an embedded imaging
device
is described. An original digital negative is captured at the embedded imaging
device at an original resolution and a thumbnail digital image of the original
digital negative is generated at a first resolution. The thumbnail digital image
is displayed on a display device coupled to the embedded imaging device and modified
to form a first resultant image at the first resolution. A first edit list based
upon the modifying is generated and associated with the first resultant image and
linked to the original digital negative. The linked first edit list, the original
digital negative, and the first resultant image are stored at the embedded imaging
device and displayed at the display device.
