Abstract

Systems and methods for the automatic creation of multiple image layouts. In an example, an image processing application creates an output layered image from an input layered image that includes a background object, a foreground object, and a focus area that at least partially overlaps with the foreground object. The image processing application applies a scaling factor to the foreground object such that the foreground object either is entirely contained within the output foreground object or one dimension of the foreground object is contained within the output foreground object. The image processing application further determines an output focus area in the output foreground object by applying the scaling factor to the focus area. The image processing application crops the foreground object such that the focus area is contained within the output foreground object, thereby creating the output layered image.
