Abstract
A portable terminal having a touch screen and a method for processing an image therein are provided. The portable terminal includes a camera unit for photographing an image, a touch screen for displaying the photographed image, a controller for generating, if a substantially continuous drawing motion is detected on the touch screen, a partial area in the displayed image according to the drawing motion, and a memory unit for storing the partial area of the displayed image. Accordingly, the portable terminal may more easily perform image photographing and editing, thereby increasing user convenience.

A method for processing an image in a portable terminal, the method comprising:
- outputting, by a touch screen, an image that is being captured by a camera sensor for a preview;
- storing image data corresponding to an image, which is currently output by the touch screen, in response to a touch input that is detected on the touch screen.
- identifying at least part of a view area of the touch screen by detecting a touch drag input to form the at least one part of the view area;
- and
- storing image data corresponding to the at least part of the view area of the touch screen, the image data is currently being captured by the camera sensor, in response to a user request,
- wherein the touch drag input forms the at least one part of the view area with a fully enclosed curve or a corner of the view area.
