Abstract
A graphical system enables users to edit graphical images. The graphical system utilizes memory for storing graphical data and an image manager. The image manager is configured to render a first set of the graphical data based on a first setting of an editing parameter. The first graphical data set defines a first image. The image manager is also configured to render a second set of the graphical data based on a second setting of the editing parameter in response to a user input and to render a third set of the graphical data based on a third setting of the editing parameter in response to the user input. The second setting is different than the third setting thereby enabling a user to comprehend, by visually comparing an image defined by the second graphical data set to an image defined by the third graphical data set, an effect of updating the editing parameter for the first image.
