Editing your Photos

DVD PixPlay offers a number of functions to improve the look of the photos used in your slideshow.

Rotating your Photos

You can rotate your images in the main window of DVD PixPlay by selecting the image (or multiple images by holding down the Ctrl or Shift key as you click) and then selecting Frame > Rotate Image Left/Right (or use the shortcuts Ctrl+Comma and Ctrl+Period).

DVD PixPlay will also automatically rotate photos from cameras (if your camera supports embedding of orientation information) when you add them to your project if the relevant option is enabled.

Cropping your Photos/Removing Borders

If you want to remove the borders from your photos or crop them (so that only a portion of the image is displayed) the easiest method is to use the Remove Borders tab of Frame Properties or to use the Remove Borders Wizard (from the Edit menu)

Other Editing Functions

Various other editing functions are available by selecting Frame > Edit Image:

• Removing the red-eye that can occur when using a camera flash

• Enhancing the contrast or color of a photo

• Rotating images at non-standard angles (other than 90/180/270 degrees)

• Performing special shaped cropping, such as Oval
