Abstract
Some embodiments provide a method for editing an image that includes several pixels having pixel values in a color space. The method identifies (i) a shape in a plane of two dimensions of the color space and (ii) a range in a third dimension of the color space over which the first shape is propagated to form a first volume in the color space. Pixels whose pixel values are in the first volume of the color space are fully selected. The method displays a deformable curve along the third dimension that represents the manner in which the shape is propagated over the range of the color space.
