SHARING IMAGES
ON SOCIAL MEDIA
AND ELSEWHEREAfter processing your pics, you
may want to share them with
friends, family, and social media
followers. Some social media
sites will present a cropped
version of your shot. For example,
if you share a portrait photo on
Twitter, it may be presented in
a landscape box that cuts off
key parts of the image. Consider
cropping a portrait shot as
a landscape shape in Photos.
Tap Edit, then tap Crop and
check the landscape icon. Drag
inside the crop window to
reframe the subject. Tap Done.
Tap Share, then tap your chosen
social media app’s icon.Tap the F icon then dial in more (or less) background blur.
Crop a shot so that key areas
will display in your Twitter feed.The Photos app lets you apply filters either before or after you shoot to help you create a specific look.

your Live Photo.Long Exposure

The Long Exposure effect blurred the

ocean waves into abstract foamy streaks.Animate the clip
When viewing a Live Photo, swipe

start. Bounce works well with animals as
it plays the clip backwards and forwards
to create repetitive movement.
