If you hate everything, just click the reset button at the bottom of the program. If you get lost, just hit the undo button to continuously undo edits you have made under a tab. The program uses sliders so you can move around things as much as you like until you are happy. Don’t worry if you don’t know what any of that is. Here you can straighten a crooked images (This is why I crop last.) apply effects like red eye removal and vignette as well as adjust the exposure contrast, saturation etc of the image. Grabbing the edges I moved the crop to place the eye of the bird in the upper center of the grid until it felt more balance. I made a 4×6 crop which is pretty standard for printing. This makes centering is as well as abiding by the rules of the Rule of Thirds rather easy. There is a nice overlay of a 3x 3 grid layout. You can free form if you like, type in the exact pixel dimensions or simply chose from a number of presets and the program will do the rest for you. I prefer to crop once I have my final edits in place. You don’t have follow the menu steps in order, but for the sake of a walk though it is necessary. The AUTO option works nice, but feel free to click all of the options to see if there is something else you like. The scenes mode works a little bit like a scene mode on a camera, making predetermined software decisions for you based on you scene or lighting situation you pick. Here, I picked a simple photo of an eagle to see what I could make from it. Even if you know nothing of photography or photo editing, you can quickly start tweaking up an image to make it more pleasing to your needs. Edit is where all the fun stuff is, like adding tone, effects, etc. Collage is meant for layouts of your post-processed, edited pictures into a cool format you can either print or share.
