  • Patent number: 7999829
    Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that facilitates performing an image-editing operation across multiple perspective planes. During operation, the system receives a selection for a source area for the image-editing operation, wherein the source area spans one or more perspective planes. The system also receives a selection for a destination area for the image-editing operation, wherein the destination area spans one or more perspective planes. Next, the system defines one or more partial source areas for the one or more perspective planes spanned by the source area. The system also defines one or more partial destination areas for the one or more perspective planes spanned by the destination area. The system then applies the image-editing operation from each partial source area to each relevant partial destination area.
