We've also taken great care to make rotating, mirroring or cropping your photos as easy as can be. The same goes for text- and image-based watermarks or just plain text. Adjusting brightness, exposure, gamma and many other settings is equally straightforward, thanks to handy sliders. The multiple built-in artistic effects is where you can let your creativity really shine. Why not age your images, apply double exposure effects or turn them into elegant oil paintings? We've kept the user interface simple and straightforward to avoid lengthy learning curves and perform image editing with great results almost out of the box.
