PhotoCropr: A first step towards computer-supported automatic
generation of photographically interesting cropping suggestions
HCIL-2007-12
In the age of digital photography, post-processing (for better or for
worse) has become a more common activity. Actions such as red-eye
removal, adjusting levels and colors, and cropping are "part of the
routine" for many users. When cropping a photograph, a variety of
factors can come into play, including basic aesthetics. Tool-based
support for a simple guideline such as the Rule of Thirds could provide
many photo enthusiasts with a useful tool in their editing arsenal.
This work motivates that idea, and explores it both within the context
of mostly-manual "assisted" editing as well as the application of
automated techniques.
