Chapter 6: Edit Mode
To apply an edit or effect to a selection:
1. Use the Selections tool to create a selection, then click Done to return to the Edit mode menu. The selection remains active.
2. Select a tool to use from any of the following groups:
Exposure/Lighting
Color
Detail
Add (Special Effects)
3. Use the tool to edit the image.
Use any of these special selections options:
Show/Hide
Selection
Click to show or hide the marching ants around the selection. Hiding the selection line makes it easier
to judge the effect of various effects.
Use Selection
Click to use the selection or apply the edit or effect to the whole image. This control means you can edit
just the selection, then deselect Use Selection and apply another edit to the whole image without
clearing the selection.
Invert Selection
Click to invert the selection.
Modify Selection
Click to return to Selections to modify your selection on the image. When you make a new selection and
click Done, you return back to the editing tool you were using previously.
Feathering
Drag to increase or decrease the blurring between the edge of the selection and the edit or effect.
Feathering prevents an unnatural or sharp transition between the selection and the rest of the image
as it blends the edges. This control also makes it unnecessary for your selection to be perfectly on the
edge of the area you want to select.

To correct red eye:

2. Use the Zoom tools in the bottom right corner to enlarge and center the eye you want to correct.
3. Click within the red portion of the eye.
4. In the Red Eye Reduction group, adjust the sliders as described below.
