Insert a picture, color (automatic, grayscale, black and white, washout), increase contrast, decrease contrast, increase brightness, decrease brightness, crop, rotate, add lines around picture like a border, compress picture, wrap text around picture, format picture, set transparent color, and reset picture

Don’t be afraid to try these icons. If you don’t like how the picture looks, select EDIT on the top toolbar and then UNDO. You can undo the last 20 selections you made. If worse comes to worse, delete the picture from your workspace and re-insert it. You are never working with your original picture, just a copy. When you are finished, you will save your picture.
