Finding Your Way in Photo Editor
Working in the Editing Window
When you apply certain adjustments, a new window opens. This is called the Editing window. Here you will see the unadjusted
photo and the adjusted photo. You will also see additional adjustment options in a panel to the right of the photos.
You will see a few familiar tools in the Editing window, such as:
Hand Tool
Magnifying Glass Tool and zoom drop-down slider
Actual Size, Fit On Screen, and Print Size options
Changing the Position of the Photos
When you open the Editing window, the unadjusted photo displays above the adjusted photo. You can change the position of the
photos by selecting one of the options from the View drop-down list.

Making Additional Adjustments to the Photo
You can make additional adjustments to a photo in the Editing window.
For example, when you apply the motion blur effect to a photo, you may want to alter the amount or the angle of the blur. You can
increase or decrease the blurriness and change the angle of the blur by using the options on the Settings tab, located in the
bottom right corner of the window. The options shown in the Settings tab change for each type of adjustment. For example, the
options for motion blur are different from the options for radial blur.
Of course, the fastest method for making additional adjustments to a photo is to click one of the preview images on the Variations
tab in the upper right of the Editing window. Each preview image shows the effects of a unique combination of options. You can see
the options change in the Settings tab as you click each preview image. When you click a preview image, those options are applied
to the photo.
If you like one of the preview images but not the others, select the preview image that you like and drag the variation slider to the
left. New preview images display that are similar to the one you selected. Or, if the preview images are too similar and you want to
see more varied images, drag the variation slider to the right. New preview images display that are less similar to the one you
selected.
