How to retouch a photo - Tutorials Ordissimo (Ordissimo v4)

Together we'll see how to reframe a photo, then how to adjust brightness thanks to the "Brightness +" and "Brightness -" buttons and how to adjust a photo's contrast. Finally, we'll try out the black & white and sepia effects. 

 

1Click on the "Photos" applications.

On the home screen, click on the "Photos" icon at the bottom of your screen. 

 

2Select the photo. 

In the "Photos" application you will find all of your saved photographs. Click on the photo that you would like to modify. In this example, we choose the photo "Maldives". 

 

3Reframe the photo.

a. Click on the "Crop" icon.
You wish to reframe the photo in order to eliminate unnecessary borders. To do this, click on the "Crop" button on the toolbar at the top of your screen.

With the help of your mouse, click on a point on the photo. Hold the mouse down while simultaneously dragging your cursor until you form a rectangle with the new photo dimensions of your choice. 

c. Review the resized photo.

Your Ordissimo will automatically create a new file with the retouched photo. The original photo is preserved with its original dimensions. With any change made to a photograph (size, brightness, contrast, black & white or sepia effects), the original photo is always preserved.

- photo name
