101, 102, and 103.

It should be understood that the number of terminals, networks, and servers in fig. 1 are merely illustrative. There may be any suitable number of terminals, networks, and servers, as desired for an implementation.

With continued reference to fig. 2, a flow 200 of one embodiment of a method for editing pictures in accordance with the present application is shown. The method for editing the picture can be applied to a terminal, and can comprise the following steps 201-204:

step 201, according to the picture obtaining operation executed by the user when the session interface of the instant messaging is displayed, obtaining and presenting the original picture.

In this embodiment, an IM application may be installed on the terminal, and the user may perform a conversation with the social friend in a conversation interface of the IM application.

An executing body (for example, the

terminals

101, 102, 103 shown in fig. 1) of the method for editing pictures may acquire an original picture according to a picture acquisition operation performed by a user when the user is exposed to the above-mentioned session interface (i.e., when an IM session is performed), and present the acquired original picture on a screen of the above-mentioned terminal. Here, the picture taking operation may refer to an operation in which the user takes an original picture, for example, a screen shot.

In some optional implementations of the embodiment, the picture obtaining operation may be an operation of a user selecting a picture from the session record as an original picture. For example, when a user a and a user B perform an IM session, the user a selects a picture from a historical session with the user B as an original picture, which is a picture obtaining operation.

In some optional implementations of the embodiment, the picture obtaining operation may be an operation in which a user selects a picture from a gallery (which may also be referred to as an album) as an original picture. Here, the gallery may include several pictures stored on the terminal.

In some optional implementation manners of this embodiment, the picture obtaining operation may be an operation in which a user performs screen capturing on an interface currently displayed by the terminal to use a picture obtained by screen capturing as an original picture.

Although the above implementations describe selecting an original picture from a session record, selecting an original picture from a gallery, and capturing an original picture through a screenshot, the application is not limited thereto. The original picture may also be acquired in other suitable ways, as will be appreciated by those skilled in the art.

In step 202, a semi-transparent mask layer is superimposed on the original picture, and the semi-transparent mask layer covers the original picture.

In this embodiment, the executing entity of the method for editing pictures (e.g., the

terminals

101, 102, 103 shown in fig. 1) may superimpose a semi-transparent mask layer on the original picture presented in step 201. The mask layer may completely cover the original picture, for example, the mask layer covers the entire display area of the screen. Since the mask layer is translucent, the user can clearly observe the image content in the original picture through the mask layer.

In step 203, the area to be edited is determined based on the coverage area of the sliding operation of the user on the mask layer.

In this embodiment, the user may perform a sliding operation on the mask layer superimposed in step 202. For example, the user continuously slides (or smears) on the mask layer by a finger, a touch pen, or the like.

An execution subject of the method for editing pictures (e.g., the

terminals

101, 102, 103 shown in fig. 1) may determine an area to be edited based on the coverage area of the above-described sliding operation. Here, the coverage area of the sliding operation may include an area touched (or contacted) by a user's finger, a touch pen, or the like since (i.e., during one touch) the execution subject detects a touch event (e.g., detects that a user's finger is pressed on the screen) until the touch event is ended (e.g., the user's finger is off the screen).

In some optional implementation manners of this embodiment, step 203 may specifically include:

first, a sliding path and a path width of a user on the mask layer are obtained to determine a coverage area of the sliding operation. Here, the slide path may be a path through which a user's finger, a touch pen, or the like slides. For example, a series of consecutive sets of points across which the finger slides. The path width may be a fixed value (e.g., a user-selected width value) or may be a variable value (e.g., a value that varies as a function of pressure, contact area, etc.).

And then, determining the coverage area as an area to be edited.

In other optional implementations of this embodiment, step 203 may specifically include:

first, a sliding path and a path width of a user on the mask layer are obtained to determine a coverage area of the sliding operation.

And then, determining the area outside the coverage area as the area to be edited.

Compared with the method of simply enlarging and reducing the rectangular frame to select the area to be edited, the method for realizing the area to be edited determines the area to be edited based on the coverage area of the sliding operation, and is beneficial to a user to determine the area to be edited more quickly, and the determined area to be edited is not limited to the rectangle but can be in any shape, so that the area to be edited can be determined more accurately.

In some alternative implementations of the present embodiment, the original picture displayed in the conversation interface is fixed in size and is not movable.

In some optional implementations of this embodiment, after step 202, the executing entity may obtain the sliding path and the path width of the user on the mask layer by: in response to detecting a touch event, position information for each waypoint slid during the touch is recorded along with the path width as each point is slid.

It should be appreciated that when the path width is a fixed value, only the position information of the various path points traversed during the touch may be recorded.

In some optional implementations of the embodiment, the executing body may start to record the position information of each waypoint slid during the touch and the path width when each point is slid when detecting that the pressing pressure of the user on the screen is greater than or equal to the preset pressure value or the pressing duration is greater than or equal to the preset duration. In this way, when the pressing pressure is less than the preset pressure value and the pressing time length is less than the preset time length, the execution main body can execute other operations based on the touch operation of the user.

Optionally, the method for editing pictures may further include: and in response to detecting that at least two fingers slide in the same direction, enabling the original picture to follow the sliding. For example, if two fingers are detected to slide to the right at the same time, the original picture can be slid to the right at the same speed as the fingers.

Optionally, the method for editing pictures may further include: in response to detecting the at least two finger heterodromous swipes, scaling the original picture. For example, if two fingers are detected to slide towards each other, the original picture can be reduced. And if the two fingers are detected to slide backwards, the original picture can be amplified.

In some optional implementations of this embodiment, the method for editing a picture may further include: and in response to detecting the sliding operation of the user on the mask layer, displaying a track of the sliding operation on the mask layer in real time so as to facilitate the user to continue subsequent sliding (or smearing).

In some optional implementations of this embodiment, the method for editing a picture may further include: during the sliding operation performed by the user, the mask layer in the area over which the user slid is removed (or the color of the portion of the mask layer is adjusted from translucent to fully transparent). The mode can enable the user to check the region to be edited to be determined in real time, and the user can conveniently adjust the region in time.

In some optional implementations of this embodiment, the method for editing a picture may further include: and removing the mask layer in the area to be edited, or adjusting the color of the mask layer in the area to be edited from translucence to complete transparency. By removing the mask layer, the user can clearly observe the image area to be edited so as to determine the subsequent operation (e.g., execute step 204, or execute step 203 again).

And 204, editing the original picture based on the area to be edited to generate an edited picture.

In this embodiment, an executing subject (for example, the

terminals

101, 102, 103 shown in fig. 1) of the method for editing pictures may edit the original picture presented in step 201 based on the region to be edited determined in step 203, thereby generating an edited picture.

Compared with the method for clipping the picture by using the rectangular frame capable of being enlarged and reduced, in the embodiment, the user only needs to slide on the mask layer, the operation is simple, and the area to be edited in any shape can be painted out, so that the original picture can be edited more flexibly.

In some optional implementations of this embodiment, step 204 may specifically include:

firstly, cutting an original picture along the edge of the area to be edited to obtain image information corresponding to the area to be edited. That is, image information in an area of the original picture that overlaps with the area to be edited is obtained.

Then, an edited picture is generated based on the image information. For example, the image information is saved in a new transparent canvas to obtain a new picture.

Alternatively, the canvas holding the image information may be held as a picture in a picture format supporting a transparent background (for example, png (Portable Network Graphics) format), so that a picture in an irregular shape (for example, the same shape as a slide track) can be obtained.

Alternatively, the canvas in which the above-described image information is saved may be saved as a picture in a picture format that does not support a transparent background (e.g., jpg (Joint Photographic Experts Group)), so that a picture in a regular shape (e.g., a rectangle) with a higher compression ratio may be obtained.

In some optional implementations of this embodiment, step 204 may specifically include: and replacing the image of the original image corresponding to the area to be edited by using a preset image, and storing the replaced image as an edited picture. As an example, a pure color pattern such as black or white may be used to replace an image in an area corresponding to the above-described area to be edited in the original image, thereby achieving an effect similar to erasing.

In some optional implementations of this embodiment, step 204 may specifically include: and superposing a preset image to the image in the area of the original image corresponding to the area to be edited, and storing the superposed image as an edited image. As an example, a patch pattern may be superimposed on an image in a region corresponding to the above-described region to be edited in the original image, thereby achieving a mosaic-like effect.

In some optional implementations of this embodiment, the method for editing a picture may further include: and compressing the edited picture, and then sending the compressed picture to an opposite end of the session corresponding to the session interface, or storing the compressed picture. As an example, if the user a has a conversation with the user B in the conversation interface, the execution body may compress the edited picture and transmit the compressed picture to the terminal held by the user B. Or after the edited picture is obtained, the edited picture can be directly sent to the opposite end of the session corresponding to the session interface without executing the compression operation, or the edited picture is stored.

In some optional implementations of this embodiment, before step 204, the method for editing a picture may further include: in response to detecting an operation indicating to redetermine the region to be edited, reacquiring a coverage region of a sliding operation of the user on the mask layer; and then determining a new area to be edited based on the retrieved coverage area.

Here, the operation of instructing to redetermine the region to be edited may include, but is not limited to: the user clicks a "redo" button, etc. As an example, if the user is not satisfied with the area to be edited that has been painted, and wants to paint the area to be edited again, the user may click the "redo" button and then perform the sliding operation on the mask layer again. By re-determining the area to be edited, the user can obtain a satisfactory area to be edited conveniently.

With continued reference to fig. 3A-3C, one application scenario for a method for editing pictures according to the present application is shown. In this application scenario, first, as shown in fig. 3A, a user 302 is engaged in a conversation with a user 301 in an instant messaging session interface. The user 302 clicks on a control 303 in the session interface to select the original picture 307 from the gallery 304. After detecting the above operation of the user 302, the mobile phone 31 obtains the original picture 307 selected by the user 301 from the gallery 304, and presents the original picture 307 on the screen, as shown in fig. 3B. The original picture 307 is overlaid with a semi-transparent mask layer. When the finger 305 slides over the mask layer, the mask layer in the area over which the finger slides changes from translucent to transparent. When the sliding is finished, the area to be edited 306 is obtained. Finally, the image of the region of the original picture 307 outside the region overlapping with the region to be edited 306 is cropped, resulting in an edited picture 309 as shown in fig. 3C. After the user 302 clicks the button 308, the picture 309 may be compressed and saved to the gallery 304.

According to the method for editing the picture, the original picture is obtained and presented when the IM conversation is carried out, the semi-transparent mask layer is then overlapped on the original picture, the area to be edited is determined based on the covering area of the sliding operation of the user on the mask layer, and finally the original picture is edited based on the area to be edited, so that the user can select the shape and the area to be edited more conveniently.
