Image Processing (Filters)
❱ These controls let you quickly add a range of different filters to
your images. These range from sepia and black and white, to soft
focus and graduated tint. Click on each filter and you can then
control the intensity of the effect using sliders. You can easily undo
any effect using the buttons below the filter list.
Rotate and Crop
❱ The crop and rotate tool enables you to cut out sections of the
collage or rotate the image at either 90 degree angles or manually
using the user controls down the right hand side. NOTE: If you are
using the crop tool to zoom this could effect image quality.
You can also crop the image to a number of specific aspect ratios,
Free (user defined as detailed above), Original, Square, 16:9, 4:3 and
3:2 by clicking the aspect ratio icon in the top bar. Having selected
any of these ratio options, Photos will place an adjustable frame on
the image, click Done when you are ready to crop.Click and Hold to Compare
❱ When editing or applying filters to your images, it is very
important that you don’t lose sight of the original image; this
ensures that your edits aren’t actually detrimental. At anytime
during the editing process, you can revert to your original image
by pressing and holding on the mouse button or screen. Your
altered image can be saved as a copy so you can keep both.
Adding Information
Each photo or movie file in your Photos library contains
unique information. This includes file size, resolution,
date and time it was captured all as default. This data can
be viewed by clicking on the “i” icon on the control bar at
the top of the window. You can add a custom description
to your files, which will be stored as part of the image’s
information. To save this new info tap the X Icon in the
top right corner of the screen.Editing Images Using Photos
