Edit Photos
Does the red-eye in that photo of your two-year-old boy make him look like the demon-seed
of Davy Jones? Is there a big piece of spinach stuck in your teeth in an otherwise perfect
wedding picture? Does Grandpa??™s hair (what??™s left, anyway) appear bluer than usual in the latest
Christmas snapshots? It??™s frustrating when one tiny blemish ruins a perfectly good photograph.
Fortunately, iPhoto has the tools you need to clean up those imperfections and make right what
was once oh so wrong (yet another reason to go digital over film!).
To edit a photo, double-click it in the viewing window and iPhoto switches to Edit mode.
You have several tools at your disposal for enhancing your pictures, identified in Figure 11-10
and described next.
?– Rotate Each click of this button turns the picture 90 degrees counter-clockwise.
?– Crop Click the Crop button to enter cropping mode. Uncheck the Constrain box and
drag the handles in each corner of the photo to manually trim your picture.
?– Straighten This option allows you to rotate a crooked photo by ten degrees or less
in either direction.
