Using Edit Mode

Edit mode is where you can apply changes to your images. You can edit the overall look of your images by changing the lighting and color, or you can crop, flip, resize, or rotate your image. You can use selections to fix specific parts of your images. And you can also add final touches to your images, such as red eye removal, borders, and special effects.
