"Photobucket is a registered trademark of Fox Interactive Media Incorporated, and I am in no way affiliated with Fox Interactive Media Incorporated. In this lesson I'm going to teach you how to edit your photos at photobucket.com. If you want to edit a photo, all you have to do is, click on the edit tab above the photo you want to edit. And it's going to take you to the photo flexer. And from here you can edit your photo, there's a lot of different things you can do. It's pretty robust, and it's any easy to use interface, but it's going to take a second to load, and it's going to take you to this screen right here. And you're going to start out with the basic tab up here on the top left, and there's a lot of different things you can do. Over here on the right is your zoom. You can drag this slider here and zoom in, or you can manually come in and input a zoom as well. You can click the full screen button, and that's going to make this photo flexer take up this entire screen, but I'm going to leave it as is right now. There's a couple of buttons up here at the top. You've got your auto fix, if click there, it's going to automatically fix the contrast and levels, and such things, a couple of other different things. We've also got your fix red eye, if you've got a problem with red eye in your photo, you can click there, and it's automatically going to try and fix that. You can also crop your photo from here. If you click on the crop button, you're going to be able to come down, and select an area of your photo that you want to crop. So I'm going to go around this part right here, and click on crop selected area, and it's automatically going to crop there. You can also resize your photo, by clicking on resize. And you can change the width and the height here, and you've also got some preset sizes you can choose from as well. And you can- if you want to check key proportions, you can stretch and squash your photo as well. And when you're done with that, you can click apply; I'm just going to click cancel to get out of there. You can also rotate your photos by clicking on the rotate clockwise and counter clockwise. And you can also flip your photo horizontally and vertically as well. We've got some adjustments here, if you click on adjust, you can adjust the hue, the saturation, and the lightness with these sliders right here, and click done. And you can also adjust the contrast and the brightness as well. So you can really come in and tweak your photo to look exactly how you want it. You can also click on the undo button over here, if you mess up. I'm going to click on done. And when you're ready, all you have to do is click save. And you can either save a copy, which is going to create a new copy of that photo, or you can overwrite your existing image. I'm going to click overwrite existing image, and it's going to take a minute, and take you back to your album. And you can see, it's been adjusted with the basic adjustments that you made to it. So that's how you edit your photos in Photobucket."
