Here's a more detailed breakdown of some common editing functions:
-
Adjusting Light and Color: Look for sliders to control brightness, contrast, highlights, shadows, white point, black point, saturation, warmth, and tint. Experiment with these to achieve your desired look.

Using Filters: Filters can quickly change the mood and style of your photo. Google Photos typically offers a variety of filters to choose from. Tap through them to see which one you like best.
