Select The Edit Mode and Use Options:
This free image editor has two different edit modes: Global and Regional. When you have to edit the whole image, then you need to select Global Edit mode. Under this mode, crop, red-eye removal, clone, rotation, and flip options are available that you can use according to your requirement.
