Oops! Undoing Mistakes

Image editing programs abound and they provide you with great solutions to making your digital photos shine. Let's take a look at some of the simple things you do to improve your images after you take them.


With just a little work, you can do everything from removing red-eye, cropping your photos to standard print sizes, or using the Auto-Fix feature to bring out the best in your pictures.

Your camera may have come with bundled software from the manufacturer which can be useful. However if you want to go to the next level you may want to check out some of the most popular software titles. One of the most useful features of any photo editor is the ability it gives you to undo any changes you've already made to your photo. For instance, if you decide that maybe a sepia tone and black border don't really complement your photo the way you thought it would, just click on the Undo button at the bottom of the screen to go back one step at a time. The Undo feature allows you to undo every single change you've made to the image, from when you first began editing it. Also, if you undo a change, then decide you were right the first time, just click on Redo. In addition to undoing mistakes, you can also restore an image to its original appearance by hitting Reset (instead of having to hit Undo repeatedly).

If you've made all your changes and are ready to save the image, you have two options: by choosing Save as Copy, you'll save an additional copy of the image in its new, modified form. If you choose Save and Replace, you'll overwrite the old image with the new one.
