Making changes to photos

In the folder

Within “thumbnails” or “filmstrip” you can rotate a photo by right-clicking the photo and choosing either Rotate Clockwise or Rotate Counterclockwise from the list that appears - you might have to rotate it several times to get it into the position you wish.  

Using Microsoft Photo Editor

Open Photo Editor by double clicking the photo - if Windows Picture Viewer open instead, click the second button from the right “Closes this program and opens the image for editing”.

To rotate an image 90 degrees clockwise:
     Click Rotate 90 degrees on the Standard toolbar.

To otherwise rotate an image:
1   On the Image menu, click Rotate.
2   Choose the options you want.  If you select By Degrees, enter the number of degrees of rotation you want in the box, and click the clockwise or counterclockwise option.

Adjust the brightness of a photo
1   On the Standard toolbar, click Image Balance.
2   Drag the Brightness slider to increase (100) or decrease (0) the brightness.
To adjust all colors, select All Colors in the lower-left list before dragging the slider. To adjust the color channels separately, select Red, Green, or Blue.
