Although FilmBox and SlideScan’s AI automatically crops and corrects your scanned negatives or slides, you can also edit the photos manually to your liking.

For iOS

To edit scanned photos, first tap on a photo from within the app to view it in full. Then tap the Edit icon - on the top left corner of the photo - to open the Edit options screen. A variety of icons will appear at the bottom of the screen with your editing options. These include:

  • Rotate: Each tap of the icon in the bottom left corner will rotate the image 90 degrees counterclockwise.

  • Crop: Adjust the boundaries of your scanned image to your desired size. This is for additional changes to the auto-cropped image.

  • Flip: Press the triangles icon to flip the image horizontally (like a mirror). This might come in handy if you scan a negative or slide on the wrong side.

  • Filters: Add an artistic touch (in addition to the auto-color correction) to your scanned photos and tap the magic wand icon. Try them all to see your photos in a new light.

  • Colorize: Colorize black and white photos and see them like never before.

For Android

To edit scanned photos on Android, first tap on a photo from within the app to view it in full. Then, tap on the tool bar icon-second icon from the top right side of your screen. A variety of icons will appear at the bottom of the screen with your editing options. These include:
