Views: 2,660

Photo Editor is a tool inside Image Manager to perform simple post-processing on images. Using Photo Editor is an easy way to help increase item sales by making item images look their best. Photo Editor can be opened inside Image Manager by clicking the wand icon under an image:

A screen similar to the following one will appear. You have several options for editing: Crop, Filter, Resize, and Rotate. You also have the option to automatically launch Photo Editor when you upload images by setting the Auto-launch Photo Editor setting to On.

The first option, Crop, allows you to remove unnecessary parts of an image. You can select an aspect ratio if you want your image to have a specific width/height ratio, or select Free crop to crop the image as you like.

Clicking on the image icon rotates the cropping window.

Click the image (Crop) button when you're finished cropping.

The next option is Filter. Filters apply certain effects to your photo, such as lightening and increasing contrast. The available filters are as follows:

Field Description Example
No filter No changes made to image. image
Saturate Makes colors more intense. image
Lighten Lightens image. image
Darken Darkens image. image
Increase contrast Increases the difference between the brightest and darkest areas of the image. image
Lower contrast Decreases the difference between the brightest and darkest areas of the image. image
Greyscale Turns image black, white, and grey. image

Filters can be combined. Clicking on the image (Auto filter) button applies Saturate and Lighten filters.

Next, we have Resize. You can enter dimensions to make your image smaller. Dimensions are locked to each other (editing one always changes the other) to prevent your image from becoming skewed.

image

The last option is Rotate. Clicking image (Left) or image (Right) rotates your image counterclockwise or clockwise, respectively.

image

Click either button twice to flip the image upside-down.

Once you're finished editing your photo, click image (Save).
