Abstract
Abstract A method whereby a picture may be fit precisely in a desired location in a scanned page layout comprises the steps of preliminarily scanning a planar picture and displaying it to an operator on a video screen; marking two points on the displayed picture corresponding to two points on the layout where the two picture points are to fit; physically rotating the picture in a plane thereof and magnifying the picture so that the positional relationship of the two picture points of the thus rotated and magnified picture matches that of the corresponding layout points; and rescanning the picture as rotated and magnified.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
132 words
A method for fitting a picture into a scanned page layout, so that the picture will fit precisely in a desired location in the scanned layout, said method comprising the steps of: preliminarily scanning a planar picture and displaying it to an operator on a TV screen; displaying the page layout; marking two points on the displayed picture and two corresponding points on the layout where the two picture points are to fit, thereby to define a desired geometrical modification of the picture; performing computer computations of the desired geometrical modification of the picture, including at least one of enlargement, reduction, translation and rotation thereof; physically rotating the picture in a plane thereof and magnifying the picture, in accordance with said computer computations; and rescanning the picture as thus rotated and magnified.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
132 words
A method for fitting a picture into a scanned page layout, so that the picture will fit precisely in a desired location in the scanned layout, said method comprising the steps of: preliminarily scanning a planar picture and displaying it to an operator on a TV screen; displaying the page layout; marking two points on the displayed picture and two corresponding points on the layout where the two picture points are to fit, thereby to define a desired geometrical modification of the picture; performing computer computations of the desired geometrical modification of the picture, including at least one of enlargement, reduction, translation and rotation thereof; physically rotating the picture in a plane thereof and magnifying the picture, in accordance with said computer computations; and rescanning the picture as thus rotated and magnified.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
17 words
The method of claim 1 wherein the displaying step includes displaying the layout on the TV screen.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
16 words
The method of claim 1 wherein the displaying step includes mounting the layout on a tablet.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
25 words
The method of claim 1 wherein the step of physically rotating the picture includes automatic rotation of the picture in response to an operator command.
Claim 6
Independent Claim
113 words
A method for fitting a picture into a scanned page layout, so that the picture will fit precisely in a desired location in the scanned layout, said method comprising the steps of: preliminarily scanning a planar picture and displaying it to an operator on a video screen; marking two points on the displayed picture corresponding to two points on the layout where the two picture points are to fit; physically rotating the picture in a plane thereof and magnifying the picture so that the positional relationship of the two picture points of the thus rotated and magnified picture matches that of the corresponding layout points; and rescanning the picture as rotated and magnified.
