Once the editor editor is open, the tools will be on your left hand side.

Undoing and Saving
Undoing edits

Saving
To save your image once you have finished editing it, click the Export button and the edited image will be saved in your default library.
Adjustments and Orientation
If you are looking to adjust your image size, crop your image, or even rotate the image, simply click on the transform button.
Rotating
The buttons directly below your image will let you mirror the image either vertically or horizontally and rotate your image 90º both clockwise and counter-clockwise. You can also use the rotation bar under the image to rotate the image at a maximum of 45º intervals.
Cropping
With the Crop tool, you can select a custom area to crop by clicking and dragging the cropping arrows in the bottom right or top left of the image, or you can select one of our preset aspect ratios for great looking crops. The final size of the cropped area will be shown in the center of the image.
One-Touch Adjustments
We have the following tools under the Adjust option that use a simple slider to make your changes smoother:
Brightness - adjust the overall lightness or darkness of your image.
Saturation - adjust the intensity of the color in your image.
Contrast - adjust the the blacks and the whites of your image. High contrast means the blacks are really dark and the whites are really bright. While a low contrast will make your image look like it has a gray wash to it.
Gamma - adjust the overall brightness of an image. Use this feature to help make sure your images don’t look too bleached out or too dark
Clarity - adjust the sharpness of your image
Exposure - adjust the amount of light that affects your image
Shadows - adjust the details of the darker areas of your image
Highlights - adjust the details of the brightest areas of your image
Whites - adjust the details of the white balance of your image
Blacks - adjust the details of the black balance of your image
Temperature - adjust the details of the color temperature of your image. Lowering this will make your image have a "cooler" more blue look while raising this will make your image have a "warmer" more orange look.
Filters
Choose from a variety of filters for your photo to enhance your photo in new and dynamic ways. You can scroll through all of the filters using the scroll bar on the right.
The bar on the selected filter will let you control how much the filter effects your photo.
