Adjust Image Color Values

note

Brightness, Gamma, Saturation, Contrast, Hue

While in imaging Edit mode, you can use the slider bars in the Adjustments section of the Imaging ribbon bar to manually adjust the brightness, gamma, saturation, contrast, and hue values of your images.

Enable Image Editing Tools

To use image editing tools, enable the Edit icon from the Imaging section of the ribbon bar. Then, select the image you want to work with. Your Edge Imaging background changes slightly to indicate when you are in Edit mode.

note

Editing mode is not available from cardflow layouts. You can, however, maximize individual images in a cardflow layout to edit them.

Adjust the Image

Use the slider bars on the Adjustments section of the Imaging 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.

note

If you save brightness and / or contrast changes while in editing mode, they become permanent. You can, however, temporarily adjust the brightness and contrast of an image while viewing it.

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.

Cancel Changes

Click Cancel in the Imaging section of the ribbon bar to exit editing mode, ignoring any unsaved changes.

note

If you edit an image in error, you can use the Undo toolsin the Actions section of the Imaging ribbon bar to reverse individual changes while still in editing mode, and the Restore tool to revert an image to its original imported state even after you save changes.
