"Hey everybody! My name is Matt and I'm speaking to you on behalf of Expert Village. There's a couple of other things you can do with your photos in edit view. I'm going to double click a photo here. Come down and you'll see it says enhance. If you click that, that's going to automatically try and figure out the levels and the contrast of your picture. You can reduce the red eye of pictures. If you click on the red eye button, you can go into eyes and click on the eyes. It's going to try and fix the red eyes there. It doesn't always work. If you want to revert to your original picture, all you have to do is right click or control click and come down to revert to original. That's going to take it back to how it originally looked. Another tool is the retouch tool. If you select that and come up, you can kind of draw over top of your picture. It kind of retouches it. That tool is kind of limited use. You can experiment with it and see what happens. I'm going to revert to original. Also, there's the effects and the adjustment tool. I'm going to click effects and there's some presets that you can select. I'm going to select BMW. That's black and white. It's going to just automatically make my picture black and white. You can add a sepia tone or an antique look. Like I said, these are just some automatic effects that you can add. I'm going to go back to the original. If you click on adjust, it's going to give you a little more control. You can adjust the brightness and the contrast of a picture as well as the saturation and some other things. This is actually a pretty useful thing to do with your pictures, but I'm going to go ahead and click reset sliders. Like I said, just don't forget if at any point you mess up, you can just right click and go down to revert to original. That's going to take your picture to the way it was originally."
