Abstract
Techniques and user interfaces for accessing, navigating, and displaying photos on an electronic device.
Claims33
An electronic device, comprising:
- a touch-sensitive display;
- a rotatable input mechanism;
- one or more processors;
- memory;
- and
- one or more programs, wherein the one or more programs are stored in the memory and configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
- displaying, on the touch-sensitive display, a first plurality of representations of photos, wherein displaying the first plurality of representations of photos includes displaying a representation of a first photo at a first size;
- detecting, on the touch-sensitive display, a touch input, wherein the touch input includes a selection of the representation of the first photo;
- in response to detecting the touch input, displaying the representation of the first photo at a second size without displaying another representation of the first plurality of representations of photos, wherein the second size is larger than the first size;
- while displaying the representation of the first photo at the second size, detecting a first rotation input, wherein the first rotation input includes a movement of the rotatable input mechanism in a first direction;
- in response to detecting the first rotation input, displaying an enlarged subportion of the representation of the first photo;
- while displaying the representation of the first photo, detecting a second rotation input, wherein the second rotation input includes a movement of the rotatable input mechanism in a second direction that is different from the first direction;
- and
- in response to detecting the second rotation input, displaying a second plurality of representations of photos at a size that is smaller than the second size.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs configured to be executed by one or more processors of an electronic device that is in communication with a touch-sensitive display and a rotatable input mechanism, the one or more programs including instructions for:
- displaying, on the touch-sensitive display, a first plurality of representations of photos, wherein displaying the first plurality of representations of photos includes displaying a representation of a first photo at a first size;
- detecting, on the touch-sensitive display, a touch input, wherein the touch input includes a selection of the representation of the first photo;
- in response to detecting the touch input, displaying the representation of the first photo at a second size without displaying another representation of the first plurality of representations of photos, wherein the second size is larger than the first size;
- while displaying the representation of the first photo at the second size, detecting a first rotation input, wherein the first rotation input includes a movement of the rotatable mechanism in a first direction;
- in response to detecting the first rotation input, displaying an enlarged subportion of the representation of the first photo;
- while displaying the representation of the first photo, detecting a second rotation input, wherein the second rotation input includes a movement of the rotatable input mechanism in a second direction that is different from the first direction;
- and
- in response to detecting the second rotation input, displaying a second plurality of representations of photos at a size that is smaller than the second size.

A method, comprising:
- at an electronic device with a touch-sensitive display and a rotatable input mechanism:
- displaying, on the touch-sensitive display, a first plurality of representations of photos, wherein displaying the first plurality of representations of photos includes displaying a representation of a first photo at a first size;
- detecting, on the touch-sensitive display, a touch input, wherein the touch input includes a selection of the representation of the first photo;
- in response to detecting the touch input, displaying the representation of the first photo at a second size without displaying another representation of the first plurality of representations of photos, wherein the second size is larger than the first size;
- while displaying the representation of the first photo at the second size, detecting a first rotation input, wherein the first rotation input includes a movement of the rotatable mechanism in a first direction;
- in response to detecting the first rotation input, displaying an enlarged subportion of the representation of the first photo;
- while displaying the representation of the first photo, detecting a second rotation input, wherein the second rotation input includes a movement of the rotatable input mechanism in a second direction that is different from the first direction;
- and
- in response to detecting the first rotation input, displaying a second plurality of representations of photos at a size that is smaller than the second size.
