Image Editing Adjustments

Brightness, Gamma, Saturation, Contrast, Hue

Use the tools in the Adjustments section of the Edge Imaging ribbon bar to manually adjust the brightness, gamma, saturation, contrast, and hue values of your images.

Click to OpenAdjust Image

  1. Click to OpenEnable Edit Tool - To use these tools, enable the Edit icon from the Imaging section of the ribbon bar. Then, click in the layout to select the image you want to work with. Editing mode is not available from cardflow layouts. You can, however, maximize individual images in a cardflow layout to edit them. Your Edge Imaging background changes slightly to indicate when you are in Edit mode.

  2. Adjust Image - Use the slider bars on the Adjustments section of the ribbon bar to change the color values of the selected image. Place the button at the "0" position to return the image to its original colors. Once you save your changes, your new color settings become the "0" positions for this image.

  3. Save Changes - Click Save in your Quick Access toolbar or File ribbon bar (or press Ctrl+S on your keyboard) to save any changes you have made. If you are in Edit mode, and have enabled the Exit Edit on Save setting in your Imaging User Options, you return to viewing mode after saving the image. Otherwise, you remain in Edit mode, where you can make more changes as needed.

    Exit Edit Mode - Click Cancel in the Imaging section of the ribbon bar, if needed, to exit editing mode without saving any additional changes.

After you save changes or exit editing mode, you cannot redo your actions. You can, however, Restore the image to its original state if needed.

 Changes History Use the History tool in the Actions section of the Edge Imaging ribbon bar to review the un-saved changes you have made to an image. You can also click in the history list to return to a specific point in the editing trail.
