Wireless communication terminal and method for displaying image data

A wireless communication terminal is provided. The wireless communication terminal includes a display that includes a touch screen configured to recognize touch inputs; a memory configured to store image data; and a controller configured to communicate with the memory, the display, and the touch screen. The controller is further configured to display at least a portion of the image having a first scale in the display, wherein the controller defines a reference line associated with the displayed portion of the image and recognizes a first touch input to define a manipulation region associated with the reference line where a portion of the image in the manipulation region is gradually removed or reinstated in response to a movement of the first touch input relative to the reference line, while maintaining the same first scale of the image that is displayed outside of the manipulation region.
