Image Tools are grouped by the following three functions:

• Preprocessing: These tools perform initial corrections such rotate, crop, and red-eye correction, all of which should occur before optimizing colors, exposure, and other aspects.
• Correction: These tools are used to optimize your images, for example, by correcting blurring, improving exposure, and addressing color shifts.
• Effects: The fun filters: let your creativity run wild!

To apply an image tool to a picture in the Image Archive, select one or more with a mouse click, then choose an image tool which opens automatically in the Edit Bar. As you select more image tools, they too will be added to the Edit Bar. If room for all image tools becomes scarce, click on the minimize button in an Image Tool Title bar to minimize it. You can also undock an image tool by clicking the undocking button. Click the same button to re-dock the tool to the image tools pane.

Each Image Tool has its own panel with the settings for the selected tool. Use the various controls to achieve the desired results. StudioLine will instantly update the picture to show the effect. There is no need to confirm your actions with an “OK” button. All tools and settings can easily be changed or reversed at any time.

A tool can be applied to multiple images at once by selecting these images before accessing any tools or changing settings.
