Editing Photos

Sometimes photos don’t turn out exactly how you’d like. Granny looks like a crazed witch because of red-eye and that shot of you and your mates is way too bright. As you browse through your photos, select any photo with a problem and click on the Edit button. Once you click on Edit button, an edit window will appear with options to edit your file.

On the top, you can see several function buttons like, Compare, Favorite, Rotate Left, Rotate Right, Fix, Fine Tune, Effects, Info and Tags.

Print Your Photos

The printing service in CyberLink MediaShow 4 is nothing special, to be honest. You can print photos in various sizes or send them to an online printing service – all the same functions offered by default in Windows.
