DYNAMICALLY CHANGE TRACKER SPEED, SWITCH CROP RECTANGLES, AND DISPLAY INVISIBLE CORNERS VIA ZOOM-LOUPES

Abstract:

Techniques described herein address the issue of inadequate view of areas of a crop rectangle for a user while cropping an image. The inadequate view may be due to the user zooming, panning, or rotating the image such that some or all of the crop rectangle may no longer be within view in the graphical user interface. The solution of zoom-loupes provide a view of the corners and user selected points on the edge of the crop rectangle that may be magnified to assist the user to set the crop rectangle area precisely. Additionally, a second crop rectangle can be generated when the entire first/original crop rectangle is unavailable because it is outside the view in the graphical user interface. Using the second crop rectangle, the user may use the second crop rectangle to complete pixel perfect cropping.
