Abstract
To provide an image editing technique that enables a user to perform movement and magnification of an image with a single operation, and to perform trimming while grasping image composition in printing, the image editing method includes a step of instructing to move an arbitrary point of an image displayed in an image display area among image data; a step of calculating an image movement amount and a magnification ratio in response to the instruction to move the arbitrary point; and a step displaying a predetermined area of the image data in the image display area on the basis of the image movement amount and the magnification ratio, which are calculated in the calculating step.
Claims15
An image editing method comprising the steps of:
- performing a trimming process on image data in a trimming mode;
- and
- displaying a grid on an image to be subjected to the trimming process, in response to the image being dragged by a pointing device which is arranged to encircle an arbitrary point of the image and move the encircled arbitrary point of the image, to perform the trimming process,
- wherein the grid displaying step displays the grid which divides the image based on a golden section.
An image editing method comprising the steps of:
- displaying a grid on an image to be subjected to the trimming process, in response to the image being dragged by a pointing device which is arranged to encircle an arbitrary point of the image and move the encircled arbitrary point of the image, to perform the trimming process,
- wherein the grid displaying step displays the grid which vertically and horizontally divides the image into equal parts.
An image editing method comprising the steps of:
- performing a trimming process on image data in a trimming mode;
- and
- displaying a grid on an image to be subjected to the trimming process, in response to the image being dragged by a pointing device which is arranged to encircle an arbitrary point of the image and move the encircled arbitrary point of the image, to perform the trimming process,
- wherein the grid displaying step displays the grid which is obtained by drawing a diagonal line in a rectangular image and drawing perpendicular lines from remaining vertexes of the image to the diagonal line.
An image editing method comprising the steps of:
- performing a trimming process on image data in a trimming mode;
- and
- displaying a grid on an image to be subjected to the trimming process, in response to the image being dragged by a pointing device which is arranged to encircle an arbitrary point of the image and move the encircled arbitrary point of the image, to perform the trimming process,
- wherein the grid displaying step displays a grid that is closest to a point of an image dragged with the pointing device, out of a plurality of grid candidates, in a form that is different from that of other grids.
An image editing apparatus comprising:
- a trimming process unit which performs a trimming process on image data in a trimming mode;
- and
- a grid displaying unit which displays a grid on an image to be subjected to the trimming process, in response to the image being dragged by a pointing device which is arranged to encircle an arbitrary point of the image and move the encircled arbitrary point of the image, to perform the trimming process,
- wherein said grid displaying unit displays the grid which divides the image based on a golden section.
An image editing apparatus comprising:
- a trimming process unit which performs a trimming process on image data in a trimming mode;
- and
- a grid displaying unit which displays a grid on an image to be subjected to the trimming process, in response to the image being dragged by a pointing device which is arranged to encircle an arbitrary point of the image and move the encircled arbitrary point of the image, to perform the trimming process,
- wherein said grid displaying unit displays the grid which vertically and horizontally divides the image into equal parts.
A computer-readable recording medium storing a program comprising a code for causing a computer to execute an image editing method, said image editing method comprising the steps of:
- performing a trimming process on image data in a trimming mode;
- and
- displaying a grid on an image to be subjected to the trimming process, in response to the image being dragged by a pointing device which is arranged to encircle an arbitrary point of the image and move the encircled arbitrary point of the image, to perform the trimming process,
- wherein the grid displaying step displays the grid which divides the image based on a golden section.
A computer-readable recording medium storing a program comprising a code for causing a computer to execute an image editing method, said image editing method comprising the steps of:
- performing a trimming process on image data in a trimming mode;
- and
- displaying a grid on an image to be subjected to the trimming process, in response to the image being dragged by a pointing device which is arranged to encircle an arbitrary point of the image and move the encircled arbitrary point of the image, to perform the trimming process,
- wherein the grid displaying step displays the grid which vertically and horizontally divides the image into equal parts.
