Other Major Editing Options

The Picture Editor also has other editing options that allow you to change your images:

• Brightness

  Make an image lighter or darker by adjusting the brightness, contrast and gamma of your image. This function allows you to make parts of it stand out or blend in more.

• Color

  Adjust specific colors or adjust the saturation of your image.

• Auto

  This will automatically adjust your image's color and brightness to achieve the best contrast between focus image and background possible.

• Sharpen

  Using this function makes edges stand out more distinctly in an image.

 

Drawing Options

The Picture Editor has many very easy to use drawing options that create lively and vibrant strokes on your photo.

4. Decide where you would like the arrow to start (the end without the pointer), click and drag this to where you would like your arrow to point.

4. Choose whether or not to fill the ellipse with color by checking the box beside Fill Color.

The Draw Tool Layer

A Draw Tool Layer (.DTL) is a separate file which is laid over your original picture, very much like a transparent piece of paper over your photo. This layer is where you draw on all of your additional graphics in the Picture Editor, and you can always choose to take away everything you've drawn onto your original picture by using the Remove Draw Layer button.
