Next/Previous Photos and Rotate/Hide/Delete/More Bar

The arrow buttons allow to navigate to the next or previous photos in the album. You can also navigate with the arrow keys and with the mouse wheel.

Use the other buttons to rotate the current photo to the right or to the left, to hide it or to delete it. Hidden/deleted photos can be identified by an "H" letter near the buttons (for hidden photos) or an "X" letter near the buttons (for deleted photos).

Editing Tools:

·Photo: When you modify a photo with Photozig Albums, the original photo is never affected. You can always go back to the original photo. Whenever you edit a photo, this control changes to Modified. If you change it back to Original the original photo is restored; if you change to Modified the edited version is displayed. You can click on the Photo label to quickly switch between the original and edited versions of the photo.  
·Zoom: You can control the size of the photo in the editor by dragging the sliding knob with the mouse. Notice that you can pan the photo by dragging it with the mouse.  
·Fit to Screen: By pushing this button, the current photo's zoom is adjusted in a way that the photo fits entirely into the screen. If the photo is smaller than the screen, it will be stretched on the display  
·Actual Size: This button displays the photo in its actual resolution (no stretching, no shrinking)  
·Crop: Allows you to crop the photo. A rubberband-like box is drawn on the picture; you can drag the crop box by its handles until the desired section of the photo is framed by it. Then push the apply button to keep the cropping or cancel to ignore it. Notice that under the crop button various photo sizes can be chosen: the cropping rectangle is sized in a way that keeps the proportion of the selected photo size  
·Red-eye: When the photo subjects have red-eyes (caused by flash) you can use our red-eye tool to eliminate them: push the red-eye button, drag a box around the red eye (in some cases more than one red-eye can be fixed with a single rectangle), adjust the sliding knob for correction strength and press the Keep button (or Discard). The Red-Eye tool remains active so that it is easier to fix all the photos with red-eye without having to press the red-eye button for each one. When finished, click the same Red-Eye button (which when red-eye is active has its label changed to End Red-Eye).  
·Quick Fix: Auto-adjusts both brightness and contrast in a single click to optimize luminance distribution on the photo. Very useful for photos that are overall too dark or overall too bright  
·Brightness: Manual brightness adjustment. You can either drag the sliding knob or push (and hold) the plus and minus buttons  
·Contrast: Manual contrast adjustment. You can either drag the sliding knob or push (and hold) the plus and minus buttons  
·Undo: Undoes the last edit operation. Notice that the undo buffer is persistent, that is, if you go to another photo and then comes back to the edited one, the undo operation list will still be applicable  
·Redo: Redoes the last undone edit operation  

Notice that all editions done to a photo are saved when you change to another photo. If you come back to a previously edited photo you can rollback each edition by pressing the Undo button, or by selecting Original in the Photo drop down list.

·Full Screen: switches to Full Screen Mode, taking advantage of all viewable area of your monitor to display your photo in a larger area with only essential controls shown in screen.

·Play Slideshow: displays the photos as a full-screen slide show. If you have songs stored in your computer you can play selected tracks along with the slide show. The slide show order will be the same of the photos in the album, and it starts with the currently active photo.  
·Print: allows you to print photos in the album.
