Abstract
Methods (800), apparatuses (100), and computer readable storage mediums of arranging a digital image in one of several image receiving placeholders of an electronic photo album document are provided. The document is displayed (802) on a first virtual plane of a display on a display device. Digital images are displayed (804) on display; the digital images are arranged on a second virtual plane separate from first virtual plane. At least one of the digital images and document are partly transparent enabling the digital images and document to be contemporaneously visible. The second virtual plane extends beyond the boundary of display and can be panned on display device independently of document. A digital image is selected (806) from the displayed digital images; upon selection, the non-selected digital images are at least partly hidden so that the visibility of document on display device is increased. The selected digital image is arranged (808) in an image receiving placeholder.
