Abstract
Displaying an image is described. A method for displaying an image includes determining, for each of multiple images, metric associated with the image. The multiple images are displayed in a view in which each of the multiple images is associated with at least one visually perceivable attribute that reflects at least the determined metric. The attributes that reflect the metrics are logically independent of the metrics. In one implementation, the metric relates to a significance value associated with the image. In one implementation, the visually perceivable attribute relates to a size with which the multiple images are displayed in relation to each other.
