Photo editing

A kitten photo with a filter applied to one half — an example of photo editing

Every photo in a collage can be fitted to its cell and edited right in the editor — no separate software needed. A cell is a “window” in the template that a photo goes into; to adjust how the photo sits inside, open the cell in edit mode.

How to enter edit mode

Tap a filled cell once — it highlights and the rest of the collage dims so it doesn’t distract you. (If the cell is empty, the same tap opens a file picker.) In edit mode, move the photo to choose a good crop and change the scale so it fills the window nicely; guides hint at the centre. A toolbar appears at the bottom — its main buttons are covered below. To leave, press the “Done” check mark.

Rotate

Rotation is a slider from −180° to +180° (the circular-arrow button). Drag the handle or type an exact angle; it snaps to 0°, ±90° and 180°, and “Reset” returns to 0°. When tilted, the photo auto-fits the cell shape so no empty edges appear — so at a strong tilt the photo may grow a little.

Rotate: the angle slider, an exact-value input and “Reset”.

Edge blur

Edge blur (the feather-icon button) fades the photo’s edges to transparent so the collage background shows through — a soft transition with no hard border. In the popover pick the type (“By sides” — fade along the chosen edges, or “Radial” — a soft oval transition from the centre, handy for shaped cells), the sides, and the strength with the 0–100% slider. If the collage is saved as a PNG with a transparent background, the blurred edges stay transparent.

Edge blur: type, sides and strength of the effect.

Perspective

Perspective (the 3D-move-icon button) tilts the photo as if it were a plane turned in space. First choose an axis — “Horizontal” or “Vertical” — then two sliders: “Perspective” narrows the far edge (a depth effect), and “Tilt” slants the horizon or verticals. The effect reads best on photos with straight lines — a horizon, roads, buildings.

Perspective: axis, “Perspective” and “Tilt”.

Flip

The flip buttons mirror the photo — horizontally or vertically. Handy when you want to turn the subject the other way or match the composition to neighbouring cells.

Flip horizontally or vertically.

Filters

From the same bar you can apply a filter to the photo: a ready preset or manual brightness, contrast and saturation — separately for each cell. For more, see “Photo filters for your pictures”.

Filters apply to the photo in an individual cell.

Cells themselves can’t be moved, deleted or duplicated — they’re part of the template. You can only fill them with photos and adjust the crop inside; only text and stickers move freely.
