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