Editing Views in iPhoto

Video Transcript

"Hey everybody! My name is Matt and I'm speaking to you on behalf of Expert Village. You can also do some simple editing to your pictures. To get into edit view all you have to do is double click on a picture. I'm going to go ahead and double click on a picture right here. It's going to take me to edit view. From here, there's a couple of different things you can do. To get out of edit view and back to your library view, you can just go to the side of a picture and that'll take you back. Let me go back to edit view. From here, at the bottom right here, you can zoom in and out of your pictures. You can use the sliders to scroll around. What you can do is you can left click and drag a rectangle around different parts of the picture. What you can do here is you can come down and select crop and it'll crop your picture to just that part of your picture. I'm going to go ahead and command Z to undo that. You can also constrain your box too. If you come down here to constrain. I'm going to select this 4-3 DVD. That's the aspect ratio and that's going to give me a box like that. If you click and drag your box, it's going to constrain to a 4-3 aspect ratio like I said. That's going to be helpful if you want certain measurements to crop to for using DVDs, books, or certain things. You can also come down here. If you click the rotate button, that'll rotate your picture. You can also do that from your library view as well. "
