Abstract

Computer programs and computer-implemented methods implement techniques for applying a modification operation to vector objects in an image. These include receiving user input applying a modification operation in an image, identifying one or more vector objects to be affected by the modification operation and changing one or more attribute values for one or more of the attributes of each identified vector object according to the modification operation. The techniques can also include receiving user input selecting one of a plurality of image processing modes, each of the image processing modes defining a method of changing attribute values for of one or more of the attributes.In preferred embodiments, feedback is provided to the user of how attribute values for the attributes of vector objects are changing within the image.
