Selection Refinement Tool

摘要

Selection refinement tool techniques are described in which a selection within an image is modified using a tool that automatically resizes according to the shape of selection boundaries. In one or more implementations, selection boundaries are displayed in an image that is exposed in a user interface. The selection boundaries may represent an automatic selection via an editing tool, or a selection that is based on manual manipulation of an editing tool by a user. The selection refinement tool is operable to modify the selection boundaries by positioning of a cursor of the refinement tool proximate to the selection boundaries. In response to positioning of the cursor relative to the selection boundaries, the cursor is dynamically resized in dependence upon a positional relationship between the cursor and the selection boundaries, such that boundaries of the cursor are kept from intersecting with the selection boundaries.

1. A method implemented by a computing device to dynamically resize a cursor for a selection refinement tool in an image processing environment comprising:
representing selection boundaries indicative of a selection of one or more portions of an image exposed for editing in a user interface; exposing via the user interface the selection refinement tool that is operable to modify the selection boundaries by positioning of the cursor of the refinement tool proximate to the selection boundaries; and responsive to input to position the cursor relative to the selection boundaries, automatically resizing the cursor of the refinement tool in dependence upon a positional relationship between the cursor and the selection boundaries, such that boundaries of cursor are non-intersecting with the selection boundaries.
