How to use the Photo Editor by Pepper
We have been receiving some queries about how to use the Photo Editor and so we thought we would do a blog post that went over all the features and how to use them!
Using the Photo Editor is simple and intuitive. That is the beauty of this application, it makes life easy! In this document you will find complete instructions on how to use the Photo Editor Suite and make the most of the pictures on your BlackBerry!
Features:
This awesome app suite contains the following:
* Photo Editor � Brightness and Contrast
* Photo Editor � Resize
* Photo Editor � Recolor
* Photo Editor � Crop
* Photo Editor � Rotate
How to launch the Photo Editor Suite
To use any feature of the Photo Editor you must first choose a picture and open it on your BlackBerry.
* Open the Media folder.
* Select the Pictures folder.
* Choose a picture.
* Next press the BlackBerry button, (the button with the BB logo on it) and choose Edit Photo.
A palette will show up with all the various features offered in the Photo Editor. When you hover on any icon, text will show up explaining what that particular icon stands for. For example, the color wheel represents the �Recolor� option and the arrow represents the �Rotate� function. Take a few seconds to acquaint yourself with these features. Once you have decided what you want to do, select the icon and let the fun begin!
Brightness and Contrast
Upon selecting the sun icon we are taken to the �Brightness and Contrast� screen.
Depending on what you want to do, click either the Brightness or Contrast buttons. This will guide you to the next screen which will show the picture being edited and a scale showing degrees of the brightness or contrast. By dragging the button on the graduated line you will be able to see changes in the brightness or contrast in the picture. Once you are happy with the results, click, and your picture will be transformed.
The images above illustrate this technique. Both the Brightness and Contrast screens are shown with the picture being edited, and the graduated line which determines the degree of change.
Resize
Upon selecting the yellow box we are taken to the �Resize� screen.
Once again, by scrolling along the graduated line you will be able to view the preview size of the picture being edited. Once you are happy with the new size, simply click to transform the picture.
This feature is very useful if you want to email and share pictures with your family and friends, since the pictures are now of a smaller size and resolution, they are easily sent.
Recolor
Upon choosing the colored wheel we are taken to the �Recolor� screen.
We are given three options to recolor our chosen picture. We can change it to black and white, make it sepia or transform it to its negative.
Once you have chosen the change you would like to make to your picture, simply select the appropriate icon shown and click to transform your picture.
Crop
Upon choosing the black frame we will be taken to the cropping screen.
You can choose where to start the crop by using the scroll button to move the white outlined square on the picture. Once you have selected the placement, click the center scroll button. Now the location of the square has been locked, you can drag the square to increase its size by using the scroll button once again. When you are happy with the picture shown within the white outlined square, press the center scroll button once again. You will be shown a preview of your cropped picture and be given the option to save the changes or go back and crop again.
Rotate
Upon choosing the blue arrow we will be taken to the rotate screen.
On this screen, you very simply select the angle of rotation and click the appropriate icon. Your picture will be rotated according to the angle chosen.
Save
You can make multiple changes to your pictures. For example you might want to crop and change the contrast. Once you are done with all the changes press the disk icon to save your new picture.
Send Email
Upon selecting the envelope icon you will be taken to an email with your edited picture already attached. All you need to do is choose the contacts to send the picture to, and you�re done! This feature makes sharing your edited pictures with your family and friends highly convenient and easy.
Exit
Pressing the red power button will quit the application, but only after making sure that you have saved the changes you wanted.
