How to Edit Photos With Geni

Founded in 2007, Geni is a cross between a social networking site and a genealogical research platform, allowing users the opportunity to share their results with other researchers utilizing the website. One of the many properties of the platform is the ability to load images into various aspects of your digital family tree. Editing the images after you have loaded them onto the site is limited, but Geni does provide the opportunity to both re-size and crop your images.

Instructions

1. Sign in to your Geni profile.

2. Click "Tree" in the upper right-hand corner of your home screen to navigate to your Geni tree.

3. Click the photo in your Geni tree that you want to edit.

4. Click the "Rotate" button at the top right of the image to rotate the image clockwise. If the image rotation does not immediately appear, you may need to refresh your browser window.

5. Click the "More" button, located beneath the image.

6. Click "Resize Photo" and use your mouse cursor to adjust the size of the image.

7. Click "Crop" and use your mouse cursor to highlight the area you want to preserve after cropping the image. Click "OK" to crop the area not highlighted by the crop selector.
