After using one photo fix tool, you can choose to use the other tools in the same fix session. For example, after cropping a photo, you can then correct its color.

When you're happy with the changes you've made, click on the yellow 'done editing' button. We'll save the corrected photo with a slightly different caption (for example, "fixed: mom's birthday"). You can then order prints or return to your photos and select another photo to fix.

If you want to discard all your changes and begin again, click on the gray 'cancel' button at the top or bottom of the page. A fresh copy of your original will replace the photo you've been working on.

Important: If you've shared an album, and then edited photos within it, your friends will see the fixed copies--unless you move them into another album.

To begin editing or enhancing a photo, follow these steps:

1. From your photo library, an album, or an individual photo page, click 'edit & organize' in the blue menu on the right side of the page.
   Tip: If you begin on an individual photo page, you won't have to choose your photo later.

Albums you own are blue and are generally displayed first on any page showing multiple albums. Your albums are created when you create an album as a destination for photos you upload, move, or copy. You can fix or delete any photos within your own albums.

The albums your friends and family have shared with you are green, and are displayed following the albums you own. You cannot fix the photos within these albums. However, you can copy the photos into your own album, and then fix them.

When I fix or enhance a photo, do I change the original?
No. Whenever you edit or enhance a photo, you're working on a copy. If you select 'save as a copy' (located toward the lower right corner of the page), you'll be able to view both versions in your album. However, if you select 'save & replace' rather than 'save as a copy,' the new, edited copy will be saved in your album, and your original photo will not be visible. To view your original, return to 'fix & enhance' and click 'undo history of edits.'

Can I fix or enhance friends' photos?
To fix a photo from a friend's album, you must first copy it to one of your own albums. Then use the fixing and enhancing features as described above.

Can I use red-eye removal to correct white flash reflection?
No. This tool works only with the color red.

What do I do if the red-eye tool doesn't remove all of the red?
Sometimes it takes a few clicks. Keep clicking on the red area until all of the red is gone.

Can I change my crop later, or have I lost the cropped part of my picture permanently?
If you'd like to have your original photo readily available to re-crop (or fix and enhance in any other way), the easiest way is to always choose 'save as a copy' (located near the lower right corner of every 'fix and enhance' page). If you choose 'save & replace,' your original will still be available, but it will not be visible in your album. To view it, return to 'fix & enhance' and click 'undo history of edits.'

NOTE: If you delete your original photo, it will not affect your cropped picture, but you will no longer be able to re-crop or fix the original.
