Editing basics
You can use the Photos editing tools to easily make simple changes to your photos, such as rotating them or cropping them to get the best framing.
When you change a photo, Photos keeps the original so you can always undo your changes and revert to the original look.
Changes you make to a photo appear everywhere the photo appears in your library—every album, project, and so on. If you want to give a photo a unique look that appears in one version of the photo, first duplicate the photo and work on the copy.
Edit a photo
To edit a photo, first you open it in editing view, where you can see the editing tools.
Do one of the following:
- Double-click a photo thumbnail, then click Edit in the toolbar.
- Select a photo thumbnail, then press Return. To stop editing, click Done or press Return.
If you have badges displayed, edited photos appear with a toolbox badge
.About editing Live Photos
You can edit the still image of a Live Photo, but not the video portion. If you edit a Live Photo using any editing tool (except for enhance and red-eye), you can no longer play the video portion of the Live Photo. To discard your edits and play the video again, click Restore to Original, or choose Image > Turn On Live Photo.
For more information about editing a photo in different ways, see Crop and straighten photos, Adjust a photo, Retouch photos, Remove red-eye, and Apply filters for special looks.
