Uploading Images
1.Click the Upload Photos button in the upper right part of the screen and browse to find your photos.
2.Hold down the shift key to select multiple photos to upload at once.
Photo Editing Tools on the left menu:
Crop & Rotate—Turn it, straighten it, crop out the background. Use the handles in the corners to crop and the grid to align.
Auto Correct—Automatic, one-click, optimal lighting and contrast adjustment.
Exposure—Change the brightness of the photo.
Red-Eye Removal—Removes red eyes caused by some camera flashes. Easy! Just point to the eye and click!
Touchup—Remove scratches and other imperfections. Works just like Red Eye.
Saturation—Ramp up the colors to blinding brightness, dampen them down to black and white, or anywhere in between.
White Balance—Ever notice how people look different inside an office with the ugly fluorescent tubes, as opposed to outside on a bright sunny day? Adjust the white balance and you change the type of lighting in the photo.
Highlight—The brightest parts of a photo are the highlights. This control lets you brighten or darken just the brightest part of the photo, without affecting the darker parts (we call those the shadows).
Fill Light—If you take a shot facing into the sun, your subject can end up too dark due to the camera’s automatic exposure adjustment. Fill Light brightens the dark area without overbrightening the background.
Sharpen—It’s like putting in your contacts. Suddenly everything comes more into focus.
Soft Focus—It’s like taking your contacts out. Soft Focus creates a subtle blur for artistic effect.
Hue—This one changes all the colors in a photo at once.
Black & White—Control how the colors are converted when you change a photo to black and white.
Tint—Imagine instead of black and white, you want red and white, or pale brown and white for that old Western look.
Sketch—Makes any photo look like you drew it yourself.
Distort—Stretch, twist, bulge specific areas of your photos.
