Thirdly, the Red-Eye removal tool allows you to tap on people’s eyes to remove the unsightly effect caused by flash photography.

Then there’s the Crop option, which lets you constrain the image for better framing. You can also rotate the image when cropping.

Finally, Color Control. Here you can change the Light, Color, and B&W levels. Tap on any of the options and move the slider across the preview pane. To quickly swap to the other options slide up or down on the preview boxes.

When happy with the edit, tap Done.
