1. A computer-readable storage medium including a set of instructions for a computer, said instructions including:
an access routine communicating a default image processing workflow between a network server and a display workstation, said default image processing workflow including at least one default image processing step for preparing at least one image for presentation to a user at said display workstation;
a tracking routine monitoring a selection of at least one additional image processing step to be applied to said image at said display workstation, wherein said tracking routine monitors repeated manual selection of said at least one additional image processing step to be applied to said image over time by a user; and
a modifying routine modifying said default image processing workflow based on repeated manual selection of said at least one additional image processing step to be applied to said image over time by the user, wherein said modifying routine incorporates said repeated manual selection of said at least one additional image processing step to be applied to said image over time by the user into said default image processing workflow, wherein said modifying routine eliminates a need for further manual selection of said at least one additional image processing step with respect to said default image processing workflow.
