1. In your account, click on the image you want to edit. 









2. Once the photo is selected, click on Actions in the top left corner and scroll down to Edit photo in Picnik.








3. The photo will appear in the editing window. 

4. You can select a basic editing tool from the top toolbar. Adjust your image with: Auto-fix, Rotate, Crop, Resize, Exposure, Colors, Sharpen or Red-Eye. You can undo changes by clicking on Undo in the top right corner. 


5. Make additional edits by clicking on Create above the toolbar. This will provide more advanced tools to adjust the image. Select from: Featured, Effects, Text, Stickers, Touch-Up, Frames, Advanced and Seasonal. Some features may require you to pay for them. 





6. After you've made your changes, click Save at the top right. Give the image a title and optional description and tags, then click Save

7. When you go back to your home window, the edited image will be in the photo stream next to the original one.
