Editing photos

The everyday photo edits people need are surprisingly consistent: crop and straighten, resize for a specific place, add a line of text, fix exposure or color, retouch a distraction, and combine a couple of images in layers. None of that requires a multi-gigabyte install or a subscription — it requires a capable editor and a clear set of steps, which is what this cluster provides.

The guides use the EditItAll photo editor, a free, Photoshop-style editor that opens in a browser tab and does its work on your device. It has layers with blend modes, marquee/lasso/magic-wand selections with feathering, levels and curves, a clone/retouch brush, a type tool, and more than a dozen filters — enough to cover the everyday 90% of image work. The guides lean on the same keyboard shortcuts Photoshop users already know, so the muscle memory transfers.

They are also honest about the edges. The editor opens PNG, JPG and WebP directly; layered PSD files are flattened with the converter first and then edited. It is not built for camera-RAW development, CMYK prepress, or generative AI fills — and where a guide bumps into one of those, it says so and points you at the right approach instead of pretending. For everything else, the browser editor gets it done without an account or an upload.
