Abstract: Techniques are provided for automatically organizing and presenting photographs based on the date information associated with photographs. In one embodiment, a calendar-like user interface is provided. By interacting with the user-interface, the user can select specific dates. In response to the user's selections of the specific dates, the image organization tool displays all photographs that are associated with date information that falls within the specific dates.

Abstract: As the user operates the straighten control, the rotational orientation of a selected image is changed. According to one embodiment, a grid is superimposed over the image while the straighten control is being operated, to assist the user in selecting the proper rotational orientation. In addition, after a rotational adjustment, the image is automatically cropped to ensure that the orientation of the peripheral shape of the image remains unchanged.

Abstract: Visual media can be edited by displaying a maximum amount of content on screen. To do so, a user can select a full-screen mode, which expands the visual media to fill the entire screen space. In full-screen mode, more of the screen is used to display the visual media as it is edited. In addition, the user can define bump areas in the visual media editing application, where the user can hide user interface controls while in full screen mode. From a user perspective these controls are sitting off screen and then brought into view as needed. The user accesses the user interface controls by bumping his mouse against the bump area, which causes the controls assigned to that region to come into view. In addition to defining bump areas, a user can decide which user interface controls to place at each different bump area.
