Editing Your Photos

It’s time to take those good pictures and make them amazing!
Rotate a picture: To do this, click on the picture you want to rotate and click on the rotate key on the bottom of the screen. Continue to click it until it has the correct orientation.
To begin more dramatic editing, choose a picture and click “Edit”
• Rotate: The first icon allows you to rotate the picture
• Crop: The next icon “Crop” lets you crop till you drop! First, select the portion of the picture you want to keep by moving the boundary lines. Whatever is outside the rectangle will disappear. When you are done, click “Apply”.
• Straighten: Straightening your picture may be helpful if it was taken at an odd angle.
• Enhance: This automatically increases or decreases the color saturation to help with pictures that looked washed-out.
• Red-Eye: Click on the eyes that have red eye once.
• Retouch: …is a beautiful thing! ☺ You can smooth out lines, flecks, etc. – give it a try.
I hope you have learned a little about making your pictures even more wonderful.
