Over exposed image? No problem––adjust the exposure in editing mode. Wish your photo could be black and white instead of color? Choose a filter and change the ambiance of your image.

These examples are just a few of the many ways you can turn an average image into someting special. Have fun editing your pictures with the many options in your Mac's Photos app.
