Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for displaying one or more versions of an image. The method provides a display area and provides a scaling tool that can select a first portion of a first version of an image to scale and can display a scaled second portion of a second version of the image in place of the selected first portion of the first version of the image. Some embodiments provide a method that can display a master image that has a first resolution and an associated preview image with a second resolution. The method displays the preview image at a third resolution that is less than the second resolution. The method receives a request to zoom the displayed preview image. The method displays the preview image at the second resolution. The method receives a request to display the master image and displays the master image at the first resolution.

Abstract: A method of content presentation on a device is disclosed. The method includes: presenting a media presentation structure through a view window on a display screen of the device, wherein the media presentation structure includes multiple presentation layers; detecting a navigation command through an input stream from an input hardware of the device, wherein the navigation command enables the view window to traverse through presentation of a first presentation layer of the media presentation structure; determining when the navigation command indicates a layer transition from the first presentation layer to a second presentation layer by determining whether the navigation command exceeds a limit of the first presentation layer; and rendering a transition sequence of the layer transition when the layer transition is indicated.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method that from a source external to a device, imports a first image and a lower resolution second image that corresponds to the first image into the device. The method assigns the second image as a temporary preview of the first image. The method generates a preview third image for the first image. In some embodiments, the method further selects the first image for display before generating the preview third image. The selecting causes the temporary preview image to be displayed as a preview of the first image. In some embodiments, the method further selects the first image for display after generating the preview third image. The selecting causes the preview third image to be displayed as a preview of the first image.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes displaying multiple color bins in a user interface, each color bin representing a segment of a color spectrum, each color bin having a representative color that resides in the associated color spectrum segment, wherein each color bin is selectable such that selecting a color bin enables varying colors in a content item corresponding to the color bin's associated segment, displaying in the user interface, a first user interface control configured to vary colors in the content item based on the selected color bin, and in response to input, displaying a plurality of user interface controls in the user interface, each user interface control associated with a segment of the color spectrum, each user interface control configured to vary colors in the content item corresponding to an associated color spectrum segment.

Abstract: Among other things, methods, systems and computer program products are disclosed for applying an image adjustment to an image. A choice of image adjustments is presented to a user of a data processing device. A user selection is received from among the choice of image adjustments at least one image adjustment that a user desires to apply to an area of interest of the image. The user selected image adjustment is applied to an entirety of an image. A preview of the user selected image adjustment applied to the entirety of the image is displayed. Also, user input comprising user selection of a brushing application is received. The user selected image adjustment is applied to the area of interest of the image and a remainder of the image is restored to a pre-adjustment state using the user selection of the brushing application.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide an image editing application that allows users to quickly preview images and to edit images. The image-editing application provides a quick preview tool for foregoing the loading of a particular image in the display area after the particular image has been selected. Specifically, for each particular image, the image-editing application maintains or generates a preview image for the particular image. In place of a particular image, the quick preview tool when selected causes the image editing application to only load the preview image of the particular image for full or partial display in the display area. When the quick preview tool is not selected, the image editing application loads each image in its entirety for full or partial display in the display area.
