"Hello my name is Eric White and today we are going to talk about editing pictures in Picasso. Now if you are a tuba player like me or maybe you are a flute player or maybe you don't play anything at all but you like storing your pictures in Picasso. Then you might want to edit them so we are going to take a look here and the basic fixes that you can do here in Picasso is you can crop, you can straighten the picture out, sometimes your picture gets a little crooked when you take it, get that nasty red eye out of the picture. I am feeling lucky. That's just letting Picasso do what it wants to do and hopefully it will turn out o'kay. Auto contrast adjusts the contrasts between lights and darks, auto color just normalizes your colors. You can retouch the photo. You can add texts to it or you can change the fill light. Now my photo is a little dark so I'm going to lighten it up and now we can go to the tuning tab and we can further mess with the lighting here. I think it looks good there. We can add a little better highlighting to it and maybe bring it down a little bit so we get better shadow and then adjust the color temperature, I'm looking a little peaked so I am going to put some color in my face, there we go and the last tab is the effects tab. You can click through these various different effects but my favorite let's see if I can find it here, effects and soft focus there we go. Now it looks like an old picture like it was taken before I was born or something and so I am going to go ahead and hit apply and there is my new edited photo in Picasso."
