- Red eye correction
- White balance and saturation adjustment
- Cropping, rotating and resizing
- Sharpening
- Frames and text (adding picture frames, text, shadow, 3D, fade out and other special effects)
Advanced users will appreciate the following features:
- Chromatic aberration (correction of blue or purple fringing near overexposed areas)
- Distortion and vignetting correction
- High dynamic range images (merged underexposed and overexposed images)
- Batch processing
