Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for manipulating images at a user interface on a computer device, comprising: displaying an image collection configured to display a first image at a first orientation along horizontal or vertical direction; displaying an image collage layout at the user interface, wherein the image collage layout comprises a first image receiving area and a second image receiving area, wherein the first image receiving area and the second image receiving area are tilted in an opposite direction from the first orientation, wherein the first image receiving area is at a second orientation tilted at an angle large than 0 and smaller than 90 degrees relative to the first orientation, wherein the second image receiving area is at a third orientation different from the first orientation, wherein the second orientation is different from the first orientation; allowing a user to move the first image at the first orientation in the image collection to the first image receiving area in the image collage layout; automatically rotating the first image from the first orientation to the second orientation when the first image is moved into the first image receiving area; and automatically displaying the first image at the second orientation in the first image receiving area.
