Editing basics
You can use the Phototheca editing tools to easily make simple changes to your photos, such as rotating them or cropping them to get the best framing.
Crop and straighten photos
You can crop a photo to improve its composition or eliminate unwanted parts of the image. You can crop it to a preset or custom aspect ratio, or you can constrain the photo to its original aspect ratio. You can also straighten photos that were taken at an angle unintentionally.
Use a filter to change a photo’s look
You can give your photos a special look by using one of the filters available in Phototheca. Phototheca has 56 filters, grouped by similarity.
Adjust a photo’s light, exposure, and more
You can use the Phototheca adjustment tools to easily change a photo’s light and color with optimal results. You can also reveal detailed controls that let you fine-tune each adjustment, including exposure, highlights and shadows, brightness, and contrast.
Adjust a photo’s white balance
If there’s an area in a photo that should be white or gray but has a color cast, you can balance the photo’s overall color. Sometimes color casts are caused by lighting conditions—for example, a photo may have a yellow or orange cast from the light fixtures in the location where the photo was taken. By changing the white balance, you can remove the color cast and make white areas appear more white.
Reduce noise in a photo
Photos taken in low light may appear with graininess or speckles, referred to as noise. You can reduce or eliminate noise in photos.
Sharpen a photo
The Sharpen adjustment changes photos by making edges crisper and better defined.
Adjust definition in a photo
You can change a photo’s definition settings to add contour and shape as well as the midtone definition and local contrast.
Apply a vignette to a photo
You can use a vignette to darken the edges of a photo and emphasize the center of the image. You can adjust the darkness and size of a vignette to create the look you want, and soften the vignette for a less dramatic effect.
