Clear removes the selected area. Copy and Paste moves acopy to the area to a new location while Cut and Paste moves the originalarea. Crop removes all portions of the image outside the selected area.Duplicate moves a copy of the area to a new location. Mirror inverts theimage around its axis. Rotate moves the image around its center.Image enhancement filters include Brightness, Contrast, and Sharpness.The size and color density of the image may be changed. The width andheight of the image in pixels may be altered, while the aspect ratio ismaintained or modified. Color reductions may be performed between anycombination of 16.8 million colors, 256 colors/grayscales, or 16colors/grayscales.
