Embodiment Construction

[0013] figure 1 Shown is image 100 . In the editing mode, a plurality of operation icons (not shown) are displayed together with the image 100 . Once such an icon is selected, for example, upon moving the mouse pointer over the operation icon or touching a touch-sensitive screen on the operation icon, etc., the guide 103 will be superimposed on the image 100 .

[0014] The guide 103 is straight and extends from the center of the image 100 . The guide 103 includes a plurality of operation values ​​displayed in scale along the length of the guide 103 . In this particular example, shown is a resize operation icon 101 having scale values ​​x1 / 4, x1 / 2, x2, and x4 displayed along guide 103. These operational values ​​are located on the guide 103 so as to correspond to the actual size of the resulting image, if selected.

[0015] The user can then simply drag the operation icon 101 representing the position in the image along the guide to the desired value. As the icon 101 is mo...

Abstract

An image 100 is edited in accordance with an operation. A guide 103 for guiding a user to select an operational value for the operation by dragging a position 101 in the image 100 is displayed. Furthermore, a plurality of operational values associated with corresponding positions on the guide 103 is displayed. The operation is then performed on the image 100 width selected operational value.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to methods and devices for editing images. In particular, the invention relates to editing digital images while they are being displayed. Background technique [0002] There are many devices that enable a user to edit digital images captured by a device, then download and / or store them on a processing system such as a PC, network processor, Internet provider, and the like. Examples of such editing systems are photo album printing software such as Dixons, Hema, DTP applications such as Quark Express. [0003] In a photo album editor, or any DTP editor with image frames arranged according to a layout, it is often desirable to perform various operations on the captured image, such as moving the frame, panning the image, resizing the frame, zooming images, rotated borders, etc. [0004] Existing editors are operated based on direct manipulation, such as a mouse or a touch screen, to produce desired editing effects. This ty...
