You can edit any photo that's available in the Gallery app, including panoramic photos. Your edits never affect the original image. When you're finished editing, the new version is saved in the Gallery app's Edited album.
If you've just taken the photo you want to edit, touch the thumbnail near the green button to open it, then touch the image to view it in the Gallery app.
To open Gallery from a Home or All Apps screen, touch the Gallery icon
. First you'll see a collection of album images. Touch one to open that album, then touch the image to edit.
- To rotate, crop, or view the details of an image, touch Menu and the command you want.
- To adjust contrast and color or apply special effects, touch Menu > Edit.
When you're in Edit mode, touch icons along the bottom of the screen to edit the photo. To move back and forth among the changes you've applied to an image, touch the Undo
or Redo
icons at the top of the screen.
