Lesson 6: Editing on Photopea
Lesson Objective: I can use Photopea and a computer to edit photographs by adjusting brightness, contrast, colour, and cropping.
Photopea is a free online photo editing tool that allows you to enhance and transform your images using a range of creative features. Similar to professional editing software, Photopea gives you the ability to adjust colours, improve lighting, add effects, and make detailed changes to your photographs.

| Curves | Exposure | Vibrance | Hue/Saturation | Colour Balance |
| Fine-tunes brightness and contrast by adjusting different tones on a graph. | Changes the overall light level of the image, similar to a camera setting. | Boosts dull colours while protecting natural skin tones from over-saturation. | Changes the colour, intensity, and lightness of the image. | Adjusts the mix of colours to make the image warmer or cooler. |
| Black & White | Photo Filter | Channel Mixer | Colour Lookup | Invert |
| Turns the image grayscale while controlling how colours convert to tones. | Adds a colour tint over the image to change its mood or temperature. | Adjusts how colour channels combine, often used for creative colour effects or black and white edits. | Applies preset colour styles (like filters) to quickly change the look of an image. | Reverses all colours to their opposite values for a negative effect. |
| Posterize | Threshold | Gradient Map | Selective Colour | Replace Colour |
| Reduces the number of colours to create a flat, graphic-style effect. | Converts the image to pure black and white with no grey tones. | Replaces tones in the image with colours from a gradient. | Adjusts specific colours in the image without affecting others. | Selects a colour in the image and changes it to a different one. |
Note: A lot of this is very similar on Photoshop – so feel free to experiment.
