Image mask interface
Systems and methods are disclosed for an image editing process on an electronic device that uses an image mask to edit an image object. The image editing process may include an image mask overlying the image object and having a frame and an aperture. The image editing process may crop the image object based on the portions of the image object overlaid by the mask frame and the mask aperture. The image object and the image mask may be separately selected and manipulated by selecting different regions of the image object or the image mask. Additionally, a user may resize the image object by moving a slider, such as by touching and moving a slider knob along an axis.
1. An interface for an electronic device, comprising:
a touch-sensitive display;
an image object displayed on the display;
an image mask displayed on the display; and
a slider displayed on the display, wherein the slider comprises a touch-sensitive slider button moveable on a slider axis between a plurality of positions, the slider controls the size of the image object separately from the image mask, the position of the slider button on the slider axis is based on the greater of a first ratio or a second ratio, the first ratio comprises height of the image object to height of a mask aperture of the image mask, and the second ratio comprises width of the image object to width of the mask aperture of the image mask.
2. The interface of claim 1 , wherein the image mask comprises a plurality of touch-sensitive knobs displayed on a border between the mask aperture of the image mask and a mask frame of the image mask.
3. The interface of claim 2 , wherein each of the plurality of knobs are moveable between a respective one of the plurality of positions to control the size of the image mask relative to the image object.
4. The interface of claim 1 , wherein the slider comprises a touch-sensitive icon configured to crop the image object based on a mask frame of the image mask and the mask aperture of the image mask.
5. The interface of claim 1 , wherein the position of the slider button on the slider axis determines a ratio of a first dimension of the image object to a second dimension of the image mask.
6. The interface of claim 1 , comprising a touch-sensitive region outside of the image object, wherein the touch-sensitive region is configured to receive a gesture to remove the image mask from the display.
7. The interface of claim 1 , wherein the image mask comprises the mask aperture overlying a first region of the image object, and a mask frame overlying a second region of the image object, wherein the second region corresponds to a croppable portion of the image object.
8. The interface of claim 1 , wherein the mask frame comprises a shaded frame, a colored frame, a translucent frame, or an opaque frame.
