Plan a photo editing tools workflow

Export formats preserve different features. A flattened image does not retain editable layers, and a JPG does not preserve transparency. Specific controls and accepted formats for planned tools are not yet available.

Decisions before you begin

  • Area or layer to edit
  • Adjustment amount
  • Output format and transparency

Prepare the task

  1. Keep an untouched copy and identify the area that needs a change.
  2. Make the smallest useful adjustment and compare at matched scale.
  3. Check edges, color and output dimensions before saving a separate copy.
