"Photoshop Express is a registered trademark of Adobe Systems, Inc. And I am in no way affiliated with Adobe Systems, Inc. In this lesson I'm going to teach you about the edit function in Photoshop Express. If you hold your mouse over the top of a photo you're going to see your photo options here, if you click there, you can click on edit photo, and you've also got a button down here at the bottom, I'm going to click there. It's going to take that photo into your editing suite. You've got a lot of different settings you can play around with over here. And we'll get into those in different lessons. But I'm going to teach you the basics of using the editing suite. If you click on an editing tool, that's going to put a check mark beside it in most cases, when you adjust it. I'm going to click on the auto correct, and you'll see it, there's a check box there. And you can do this to all of these if you want, and I'm going to go ahead and set up some of these. And what happens when you make these changes, is it's not automatically going to be applied to your photo. What you can do is you can un-check these boxes, and that's going to show you what it looks like without the settings applied. And you can also click on view original down here, and you can switch between your original and you?re corrected as well. And if you un-check these it's going to you'll still see the check box beside those, so what you can do is if you click on reset all, that's going to take away the check boxes and that's going to reset all of your settings over here on the left. I'm going to add a couple of changes here again. And what happens is you've got a check mark up here on the top right that's going to apply your changes. And if you go to my photos, you'll noticed that it hasn't actually applied it to your gallery. If you want to do that you can click on save down here at the bottom right and it's going to take a second to apply those changes to your actual gallery photo. And after it calculates that, you'll notice that the changes are actually made to you photo. And these aren't actually permanent if you click on your photo options again, and click on revert, you can click on okay there and it's going to take your photo back to the way it originally looked. So if you mess up, you don't have to worry about that, but that's how you use the editing suite in Photoshop Express."
