Editing buttons are gone - how to find them

If the Editing tools (Basic Fixes, Tuning, and Effects) are no longer visible in the edit screen:

  1. Open a picture in the edit screen. There are 4 ways to do that, pick one of the methods that follow:

    1. In the Picasa library, double left-click a thumbnail picture

    2. Click Picture > View and Edit

    3. Click View > Edit View

    4. Ctrl+3 (keyboard shortcut)

  2. Click on the tiny double arrow highlighted in the screenshot below and your editing tools will return to the edit screen.

  3. Or, go to the View menu and checkmark "Show Edit Controls"

You can use the "<<" and ">>" to hide or unhide the editing options at any time. Sometimes it is nice to hide the tools when you want to see more of the picture when zoomed in.
