Abstract

Techniques described herein address the issue of inadequate view of areas of a crop rectangle for a user while cropping an image. The inadequate view may be due to the magnification of the image in the graphical user interface, the selection tool (e.g., the user's finger) blocking a portion of the image, or the like. The solution of zoom-loupes provide a view of the area around a specified point the user selects on the crop rectangle that may be magnified to assist the user to set the crop rectangle area precisely. The zoom-loupe is generated based on the location (e.g., corner or edge of the crop rectangle) of the specified point and is associated with the specified point using connector lines. The zoom-loupe is placed on the graphical user interface to avoid obstructing other views for the user and avoid collisions with other zoom-loupes.
