panel by clicking on the left arrow displayed on

the screen. To select an image, you only need to

click on that image. A second click will deselect it.

List View: This will display the images one below

the other, in a single column. You can use the

Zoom drop-down to enlarge the thumbnail. In

addition to the thumbnail, List View will display

the file name, pixel dimensions, file type, and time

of capture.

Start Slideshow: This will start a slideshow of all

selected images.

Select Photos

The button next to this text is where you do the

settings for selecting images. The options are:

Language: This option lets you select the

language of the interface. The languages included

at the moment are English, Gujarati, Hindi,

Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Tamil, and Telugu.

Theme: This menu allows you to choose your

favourite theme. The options available are Aqua

Blue, Brick Red, Deep Lavender, Leaf Green, Parrot

Green, Purple Pink, Sky Blue, Stone Gray, and

Sunrise Yellow. I personally prefer Stone Grey for

all my editing software since it is neutral.

Facebook: As mentioned earlier, you can link your

Facebook account with Edit Xpress. The Facebook menu

provides the only option to clear history every time. It is

strongly recommended that you keep this checked all the

time.

Output Quality: This is probably the most crucial of these

menus. You can check the option to Maintain original

quality, choose a quality from the drop-down menu, or

specify the percentage to be maintained. There is also a

slider to set the size (from small to large).

Face Crop: Edit Xpress has an intelligent system to detect

faces and crop automatically in certain modes. This menu

lets you select the amount of face crop to be applied. The

options are Standard, Moderate, and Aggressive.
