Abstract
Approaches are described for managing the capture and/or presentation of images, such as panorama images. An electronic device can be used to 'paint' the scene desired to be captured, where the device can be panned horizontally or vertically, or both, to capture images of a much larger area than the field of view of the camera. The overlap between adjacent images can be determined image-by-image and visual or other cues can be provided to assist a user controlling the device to pan the device in a particular manner to ensure an appropriate amount of overlap between captured images. Further, the user can be presented the entire panorama image being captured at the highest scale possible by filling the display element of the device with the image and dynamically scaling down the image as the user continues to add to the panorama image.
