Photo Editors

One of the major advantages (and pleasures) of digital photography is the ability to edit your photos. By editing you can:

• Crop a photo so that you concentrate only on the most significant parts of an image

• Straighten an image if you weren't holding your camera level

• Improve the lighting and/or contrast

• Remove blemishes or unwanted objects

• Create artistic effects

To edit a photo you need a photo editor program. You've got a number of choices:

• Windows 10 has a photo editor which is adequate for the majority of photo editing tasks.

• Download a free photo editor (eg IrfanView) or search online for the latest recommended free photo editors.

• Use an online photo editor. These are often provided by camera or printer manufacturers.

• Purchase a photo editor such as PhotoShop or CorelDraw
