Abstract: Methods and systems, including computer program products, implementing a preview cursor for image editing. One method includes displaying an image, receiving user input moving a cursor representing an editing tool to a position on the image, and in response, displaying a cursor icon representing the cursor at the position. The editing tool is operable to have an effect when applied. The cursor icon shows the effect of applying the editing tool at the position while and only while the cursor is at the position.

Abstract: An image-editing application may transform digital images. The image-editing application may display a thumbnail image control including a sequence of thumbnail images. A main image may also be displayed. One or more of the thumbnail images may be transformed according to different transformation adjustment levels. As a user input control rolls over each of the thumbnail images, the main image may be transformed according to the adjustment level associated with the thumbnail image that currently has the user input control over it, offering a preview of the transformation adjustment level associated with the currently active thumbnail image. A slider-bar control may be associated with the thumbnail image control. The slider-bar control may be associated with a complete range of adjustment levels. The image-editing application may coordinate the operation of the slider-bar control, the thumbnail control and the display of the main image.

Abstract: Various embodiments of a method and system for an image editing system are disclosed. A client-side image editor may receive a copy of an image from a network-based server. The image may have previously been uploaded to the network-based server for storage purposes. The client-side image editor transforms the image, or proxy image, according to one or more image transformation operations. The client-side image editor maintains an edit list, including an ordered list of transformation operations performed on the image. In response to a “Save” operation, the client-side image editor sends the edit list to the network-based server. The altered image is not be sent. The network-based server receives the edit list and may apply the transformations to the original image. Since the edit list is very small relative to the altered image, sending the edit list to the network-based client reduces the time required for a “Save” operation.

Abstract: An image-editing application may be configured to transform a color hue value range in an image to a replacement color hue value range. The image-editing application may create a hue histogram of the image. The hue histogram may include tabulated frequencies of color hue values included in the image. The image-editing application may search for prominent peaks in the histogram. For a prominent peak, the image-editing application may determine a corresponding range of color hue values. Subsequently, the image-editing application may determine a range of replacement color hue values. The image-editing application may replace the prominent color hue values with the replacement color hue values. When the image is displayed on a display device, the pixels associated with the prominent color hue values will display the replacement color values.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus, including computer systems and program products, to provide an image editing application including a perspective editing tool for performing edits in regions of an image having perspective. The perspective editing tool enables the user to identify one or more regions having perspective, i.e., perspective areas. The user can perform various editing operations on an object such that the edited object conforms to the perspective of the perspective area. The image editing application can also automatically create a perspective area from an existing perspective area. The editing tool enables the user to move objects from a source perspective area to a destination perspective area such that the edited object conforms to the perspective of the destination perspective area.
