7. Adjusting the image orientation

Página 7

Chapter 7 of our guide will cover one of the most fundamental steps in editing images on your smartphone: adjusting the orientation of the image. Image orientation refers to the direction in which the image is displayed. The image can be displayed in portrait (vertical) or landscape (horizontal) orientation. Although it seems like a simple thing, the correct orientation of the image can make a big difference in the overall perception of the image.

Before proceeding to adjust the orientation, it is important to understand why this is important. Image orientation can affect how the viewer perceives the image. For example, a portrait orientation image may be better suited for highlighting a single object or person, while a landscape orientation image may be better for capturing a wide scene or a group of people.

In addition, image orientation can also affect how the image fits in different media formats. For example, images in portrait orientation are generally better suited to social media platforms like Instagram, which favor this format. On the other hand, images in landscape orientation are generally preferred for websites and blogs, which often have a wider layout.

Now that we understand the importance of image orientation, let's move on to the process of adjusting the orientation. Most modern smartphones come with built-in photo editing apps that allow you to adjust image orientation. Here are the basic steps you can follow:

1. Open the photo editing application on your smartphone.

2. Select the image you want to edit.

3. Look for the option to adjust image orientation. This is usually located in the image editing menu and can be represented by a rotation icon.

4. Select the desired orientation. You will usually have the option to rotate the image in 90 degree increments or to flip it horizontally or vertically.

5. After selecting the desired orientation, you may need to adjust the framing of the image. This can be done using the cropping function, which allows you to crop unwanted parts of the image.

6. After adjusting the orientation and framing of the image, you can save the edited image. Be sure to save the edited image as a new image so you still have the original image if you need it.

In summary, adjusting the image orientation is a key step in editing images on your smartphone. While it may seem like a small thing, the correct image orientation can have a big impact on the overall perception of the image. Therefore, when editing your images, be sure to carefully consider the orientation of the image.
