Lesson Objective: I can use my phone to edit photographs by adjusting brightness, contrast, colour, and cropping.

Editing is the process of making small changes to a photograph after you have taken it. This helps to bring out its best features. You can do this for yourselves using a smart phone. You can adjust things like brightness, colour, contrast, and detail to enhance the mood and feeling of your image.

Editing is not about changing your photo completely or making it look unrealistic. Instead, it is about helping your photograph better represent what you saw and felt when you captured the moment.
