Here's how to access your Photo Editing Tools

  • Select the Photo You Want to Edit

    • Tap on the photo you’d like to edit from your UNUM Space.

  • Open the Editor

    • Tap the Editor icon to enter the photo editing tools.

  • Choose a Filter

    • Browse through our professional presets and select a filter that matches your style.

    • If you prefer to make detailed adjustments, you can use our HLS (Hue, Lightness, Saturation) tools for precise editing.

  • Preview in Your Feed

    • As you edit, you can see how the photo will look within your overall feed, helping you maintain a cohesive visual aesthetic.

  • Advanced Editing

    • If you want more advanced controls, tap Editor again at the bottom left to access additional professional tools for further refinement.

Adjust | Crop, rotate, flip, & freeform shape.

Whiten | Lighten and brighten specific focus areas.

HSL | (Hue, Saturation, & Lightness) Adjust the unique colors of your image.

Brightness | Uniformly control all the colors in your image or video to make the overall picture lighter or darker.

Exposure | Control the amount of light featured in the image or video. Darker images that appear to have less light than needed are considered underexposed, whereas excess light can overpower the image, leaving it overexposed.

Contrast | Adjust the difference between the lightest and darkest areas of your content. Increasing contrast makes lighter areas lighter and dark areas darker. Decreasing contrast on the other hand, reduces the overall tonal difference, giving the content a more subdued, vintage-y feel.

Saturation | Equally change the intensity of all colors at once. Think of saturation as adding vibrancy to your content. However, use this tool sparingly to avoid unnatural-looking hues.

Vignette | Darken the edges of a photo while keeping the center bright.

Fade | Soften colors & reduce contrast.

Tint | Color correct & add a single color, tonal overlay.

Temperature | Increasing the temperature adds warmth by boosting the content’s orange tones. Decreasing the temperature does the opposite, cooling the image or video down by boosting its blue tones.

Highlight | Adjust the details in the brightest and darkest parts of a photo. Deepen darker colors by decreasing (-) and enhance brighter ones by adding (+) highlights.

Clarity | Increase the contrast between dark and light pixels along the edges of the subjects in pictures.

Border | Add a border, select a color, & control the width.
