ABSTRACT:
Methods and apparatus implementing systems and techniques for revealing a clipped portion of an image. In general, in one implementation, the techniques include presenting a visual representation of an image object having a clipped portion hidden from view in the visual representation, and during an edit operation, revealing the clipped portion of the image object as a transparent image overlay in the visual representation. In another aspect, the techniques include drawing a first visual representation of an image object in an edit mode that reveals a clipped portion of the image object in the first visual representation, the first visual representation allowing at least a portion of an object lower in a drawing order and underneath the revealed clipped portion to show through the revealed clipped portion, and in response to termination of the edit mode, drawing a second visual representation of the image object in which the clipped portion of the image object is hidden, such that the at least a portion of the lower of object is visible and unobscured by the clipped portion.
