Snapping is a common approach for achieving precise placement of elements in many applications. It is often achieved by considering the very local information only. In this talk I will show that premature snapping might cause sub-optimal results. I will introduce two non-local snapping ideas in context of image sketching and layout editing, which will be presented at SIGGRAPH 2014 and UIST 2014, respectively.
