Computer system Scanner driver, used as an interface, and handles image reading hot key commands. Interface 15 reads the instructions sent. Image frame taking device 1 4

4 6 2 18 2 V. Description of the invention (3) ~ The function of dynamic cropping image can provide a dialog box for the user to select the image range to be cropped 'as shown in Figure 2. When the image manipulation device 13 displays the read image data in the frame 21, the image ^ extraction device j3 automatically selects the edge of the figure 'as the selected range. If the user selects a small part of the picture in the picture frame 21 with the air-frame, the selected picture is displayed in a preview picture frame 22. The preview frame 22 is the same size as the cursor, which is convenient for the user to preview the new icon or cursor after creation. Therefore, the user can immediately determine whether to accept the new icon or cursor after the production is completed, and press the button of 23% to cancel 24 after the completion of the production. The integrated interface 15 has many kinds of selection items, and the selection items can be displayed on the display 16 'for the user to choose β. Taking Microsoft (Windows) environment as an example, the Microsoft Windows system can The parts for changing the diagram are: Startup Screen, Wall Paper, System LOGO, Desktop Icon (Cursor) Screen Saver ( screeri Saver), Shutdown Screen, Theme and so on. Therefore, the 'integrated interface 15 provides many related options for users to choose the items or functions they want to make', as shown in Figure 3, including the boot day 31, the desktop base 32, the system icon 33, and the desktop icon 34 'Cursor 35, screen saver icon 36, shutdown day 37, theme 38 and day reply 39, etc. Launching different item menus will open different dialog boxes. When the user presses different options on the integration interface 15 through the display 16, the corresponding dialog box will execute the following various procedures:
