Warning: After you apply the following changes, you cannot undo them.

CARMA allows you to alter the brightness, contrast, and saturation of any image in your CARMA system. This allows you to quickly alter images without needing to use any image editing software. CARMA also allows you to add text strings and watermarks to your images if you so choose.

To edit an already existing image, go to the Gallery Content Admin, choose a Content Set you with to edit an image for, and click the "Thumbnail List" action icon. On the thumbnails page, select an image you wish to edit and click the "Edit" action icon below the image.

You will then be taken to the "Image Settings" page, where you will be able to edit the brightness, contrast, and saturation of the chosen image. On the right side of the page you will see a preview of your image with the adjustments you have made, allowing you to instantly view your changes.

The arrow icons allow you to make incremental adjustments to the image-- the small, medium, and large arrows represent a small, medium, or large increase or decrease to the image. The square icon in the middle will reset the image to its default state, allowing for experimentation when altering your image.

The fields below "Image Settings" allow you to add a text string to your images. In these "Text Strings" fields, you can add your chosen text to the image, choose where on the image it appears, what font is uses, the font size, and the color of your text (can be expressed in hexadecimal values). Configure the available fields and click "Add" to add your text string.

The bottom-most fields, titled "Watermarks", allow you to add a watermark of choosing to your image. This allows you to brand any images found on your site, preventing others from using your images for their purposes. To add a watermark to your image(s), fill in the URL or Server Path of your watermark image in the "Image" field. You can then choose to resize the watermark to your specifications, change the level of opacity in the image, and choose the location for your watermark to appear. When you are done filling in the available fields, click "Set" to add your watermark.

You can choose to apply any changes you have made on this page to either your selected image only, or to ALL images that can be found in that gallery. To do so, either click the "Apply Changes to this Image" or the "Apply Changes to ALL Images in Gallery" button to save your changes. Your images will now be edited to your specifications, and all members who view those images will see them with your changes made.
