Editing Photos on Your Android

You can use your Android phone to edit pictures before sending them to a friend or saving them to your computer.

1. Select an image from your gallery by tapping on the Gallery icon and then tapping the picture you want to edit. 

2. Once the selected picture is open in the window, go to Menu --> Edit and select Advanced editing from the options. 

3. When you return to the picture window, there will be new features at the bottom of the screen. Use these to edit your picture.

  • Crop: You can drag the crop box to use any part of the picture and resize the region used. 









  • Effects: The effects options will change the color or quality of the picture, such as adding a sepia tone or making it black and white.

  • Color: This feature allows you to use sliders to adjust the tint and colors of the picture.
  • Resize: This will change your image to a smaller or bigger size, which can be useful when sending pictures via email or text message.
