Techniques for generating a digital collage using digital images are described. An image editing system obtains a set of digital images and a collage template to be used for generating a digital collage. The image editing system calculates different arrangement permutations for placing the digital images into digital frames of the collage template, and identifies a region of interest in each of the digital images. The image editing system fits the digital images into the digital frames for each of the arrangement permutations, and calculates a permutation error value for each arrangement permutation based on proportions of the regions of interest for each of the digital images that fit into respective digital frames. The image editing system selects an arrangement permutation with an optimal permutation error value, and uses the selected arrangement permutation to arrange the set of digital images in the collage template to generate the digital collage.

A copied image portion, such as an extracted image object, may be rendered together with (e.g., within) a cursor control element. Simply by resizing the cursor control element, the copied, rendered image portion may also be resized accordingly. For example, as the cursor control element is enlarged or reduced, the copied, rendered image portion within the cursor control element is also enlarged or reduced. In this way, a user may easily preview and designate a desired size of the copied, rendered image portion, and then simply place the cursor control element at a desired destination location (in the same or different image) to complete the desired pasting operation, and with a desired size of the pasted image portion.
