Photo Editing Overview

The GNARBOX app provides easy-to-use tools for you to make quick edits.  

To get to the photo editing screen:

1. Tap an image to preview it.
2. In the Preview screen, press Edit in the top right.

Let’s take a look at what the photo editing screen has to offer:

1. Adjust -- This is where you’ll make your exposure and color adjustments.
2. Crop -- Change the dimensions of your photo on this screen.
3. Undo -- Undo any changes or adjustments made to the image.

How to Make Adjustments

The GNARBOX app provides you with several exposure editing options.  These include:

1. Exposure -- Easily correct the brightness of your image.
2. Contrast -- Adjust the relationship between dark and light in your image.
3. Highlights -- Adjust to lower/raise the brightness of just the light parts of your image.
4. Shadows -- Adjust to lower/raise the darkness of just the dark parts of your image.
5. Punch -- Adjust to create a softened contrast effect that emphasizes texture and is used to create local contrast.

The GNARBOX app also provides color adjustment tools including:

1. Whitepoint -- Adjust the combination of red, green and blue colors that make up the whites in your image.
2. Midpoint -- Adjust the combination of red, green and blue colors that make up the mid, or center of the tonal range of your photo.
3. Blackpoint -- Adjust the combination of red, green and blue colors that make up the true black of your photo.
4. Saturation -- Increase or decrease the intensity of colors in your image.
5. Temperature -- Adjust the warmth or coolness of your image.
6. Tint -- Adjust the green or magenta color cast of your image.
7. Intensity -- Heighten all of the adjustments made on your image.

Swiping left and right over the adjustment tools reveals further editing options.

To make an exposure adjustment:

1. Tap on the Adjust screen.
2. Tap an effect (for example: Contrast) and move the slider to adjust the effect.  

To reset a single effect (for example: Exposure), double-tap the effect to remove. To reset all effects, swipe left to the end of the adjustment tools and tap the Reset All button.

TIP: For Whitepoint, Midpoint, and Blackpoint effects, tap the tri-colored circles to fine-tune the red, green, and blue colors.
