In order to edit a photo, you need to use a special program, the so-called graphic editor. There are a great many of them - from the widely known, which is also used by Photoshop professionals, to the simplest one built into the Paint system. There is one more editor that is installed during the installation of the Microsoft Office package and is called Microsoft Office Picture Manager. For simple initial image adjustments, it will be enough for you.
Instructions
Step 1
Find Microsoft Office Picture Editor in the following path: Start -> All Programs -> Microsoft Office -> Microsoft Office Tools -> Microsoft Office Picture Manager. Load a photo into it using the File -> Open menu item.
Step 2
Brightness / contrast. If, as in our case, the brightness of the image is insufficient, then for this we can correct it by clicking the menu item Change -> Change pictures -> Brightness and contrast. In this menu, we can manually select those values of contrast and brightness that we like best.
Step 3
Cropping. To cut only frequently images, go to the menu item Revert to editing pictures and select Crop. Here the size of the cut-out fragment and its position can be adjusted manually or by setting the corresponding numerical values.
Step 4
Rotation and reflection. In this editor, you can also rotate an image by a specified angle or flip it from left to right or from top to bottom.
Step 5
Compression of dimensions. Sometimes the quality of the image turns out to be excessive and you, in order to send it by e-mail or post it on the site, need to reduce its information volume. It can also be due to limited space on your hard drive or removable media. To do this, use the menu item Resize Image -> Compress Image. This feature allows you to compress a picture for documents, e-mail, or web pages. Choose the parameter that you need. Outwardly, the image will not change in any way, only it can become a little less sharp.
