| 1. A system for cropping an original image presented on a display, comprising:
a processor coupled to memory and the display; and,
modules within the memory and executed by the processor, the modules including:
a module for receiving one or more signals for adjusting a boundary on the original image to define a cropped image within
the boundary, the boundary defined by two or more points on the original image;
a module for distorting the original image in regions surrounding the points by applying a lens to one or more of the regions,
whereby the boundary is accurately positioned for cropping; and,
a module for displaying a graphical user interface (“GUI”) over one or more of the regions for adjusting the lens, wherein
the lens includes a focal region and a base region.
