2. Edit the image in the top menu

Note that the tools in edit mode are non-destructive, for example cropping an image does not remove pixels, it merely masks them so that the crop can be altered or undone. Edit tools that have sliders can be adjusted using the arrow keys, up/down and left/right, by first clicking on the slider to select it.
