20090201316Image Application Performance Optimization - Some embodiments provide a method for displaying one or more versions of an image. The method provides a display area and provides a scaling tool that can select a first portion of a first version of an image to scale and can display a scaled second portion of a second version of the image in place of the selected first portion of the first version of the image. Some embodiments provide a method that can display a master image that has a first resolution and an associated preview image with a second resolution. The method displays the preview image at a third resolution that is less than the second resolution. The method receives a request to zoom the displayed preview image. The method displays the preview image at the second resolution. The method receives a request to display the master image and displays the master image at the first resolution.08-13-2009
20090204894Image Application Performance Optimization - Some embodiments provide an image editing application that allows users to quickly preview images and to edit images. The image-editing application provides a quick preview tool for foregoing the loading of a particular image in the display area after the particular image has been selected. Specifically, for each particular image, the image-editing application maintains or generates a preview image for the particular image. In place of a particular image, the quick preview tool when selected causes the image editing application to only load the preview image of the particular image for full or partial display in the display area. When the quick preview tool is not selected, the image editing application loads each image in its entirety for full or partial display in the display area.08-13-2009
20090204895Image Application Performance Optimization - Some embodiments provide a method that from a source external to a device, imports a first image and a lower resolution second image that corresponds to the first image into the device. The method assigns the second image as a temporary preview of the first image. The method generates a preview third image for the first image. In some embodiments, the method further selects the first image for display before generating the preview third image. The selecting causes the temporary preview image to be displayed as a preview of the first image. In some embodiments, the method further selects the first image for display after generating the preview third image. The selecting causes the preview third image to be displayed as a preview of the first image.08-13-2009
