Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

In embodiments of image layers navigation, a canvas interface displays image segments of an image in different layers of the image. An image layers application is implemented to receive a position input of a canvas viewer control that encompasses one or more of the image segments of the image, and then determine the layers of the image that correspond to the image segments encompassed by the canvas viewer control. The position input of the canvas viewer control is effective to select the layers of the image that correspond to the one or more image segments encompassed by the canvas viewer control. Thumbnail images are then displayed that each represent one of the layers encompassed by the canvas viewer control, where each of the layers represented by a thumbnail image are displayed to include the image segments associated with a respective layer of the image.
