Devices and methods are described that facilitate the creation of a digital image of an object using a custom scan area size. Custom scan area sizes are stored and displayed so as to eliminate cumbersome steps such as measuring irregularly-sized objects more than once or processing the digital image after scanning the object to remove undesirable 'white space.'
