Tap ADJUST in the editor. Pick what you want to change from the row of round dials, then drag the slider above them. A dot under a dial means you’ve changed it, so you can see at a glance what you’ve touched.

Adjust a photo

  1. Pick one photo and tap Next, or tap a photo’s thumbnail on New post.
  2. Tap ADJUST at the bottom.
  3. Tap a dial, like Bright or Contrast. Scroll the row to see all twelve.
  4. Drag the slider. The number next to the name shows how far you’ve moved it.
  5. Tap Done.

Press and hold HOLD TO COMPARE, at the top of the photo, to see it without your changes. Let go to see them again.

To undo one change, drag its slider back to 0.
