Introducing Namo PhotoEditor

Namo PhotoEditor is a Flash-based image editing tool. Because it is Flash-based, it can work on a variety of platforms without any installation process.

PhotoEditor provides an Editing Mode for editing pictures and a Slideshow Mode for creating slideshows. The editing environments of both modes are described below.

The Editing Environment

The Namo PhotoEditor editing environment contains the following components.

1	Tabs: Switch between editing mode and slideshow mode.
2	Toolbar: A collection of the program's editing tools.

4	Properties Window: Allows you to adjust the properties of the currently selected tool.
5	Layers Window: Allows you to view and manage the layers in your image.
6	Zoom Window: Provides a slider for adjusting the zoom level. If the photo is zoomed in more than 100%, this window shows a small preview of the whole image for reference.
7	Editing Area: The area where you can apply editing tools directly to the image.
8	OK/Cancel: Click OK to accept the edits you have made and upload the photo, or Cancel to cancel them.
