There are *many* photos in the world. An average user might have thousands of photos in their personal photo collection. We have reached a point where photo acquisition is trivial, and the next challenge lies in arranging and easily editing such large photo collections. I will start the talk by briefly surveying a few of our works that aim to arrange large collections, and to provide fast (yet sophisticated) image manipulation techniques. Next, I will describe a new type of photo elements: “distractors” and explain how those are related yet different from saliency, and how we can automatically detect them. Lastly, I will present our latest work that can fix perspective distortions in portrait photos.​​
