Unselect image
Pressing 'unselect' will unselect any area you previously selected. For some operations (for example 'Interlace'), the entire
image will be changed if no area is selected.

Sometimes you just have to take a closer look. This feature comes in handy when you want to fix red eye. Zoom in to the
effected area to select the pupil and surrounding area then click 'redeye'. Also useful for fine-grained selection.

Crop Tool
Cut your photo down to size before your printer does! The aspect ratio of your camera may not match your
printer's aspect ratio.
This can result in missing heads and relatives when you go to print your photos.
Avoid disappointment by cropping your photos to match your
printer. Various pre-defined aspect ratios are provided for your cropping pleasure.

raison detre. Select the area around the eye and click 'redeye' then

Not everyone has a set of brilliant whites. Now they can - and cheaply too!
Select the off-white teeth (use the Zoom tool if needed) and click 'whiten'. Voila - perfect whites!
Interlace effect
'Interlace' adds TV scan lines to your photo. The resulting image looks like a TV still.

Blur is useful for toning down unwanted blemishes. Select the area that needs 'soft focus' and click blur.
Lomo tool
My personal favourite. The lomo effect adds a soft dark halo around your photo - it can also make colors more vivid. It's cheaper than buying a Lomo camera.
