Photo Ribbon

Artisan 5.0 contains a powerful photo editor. The Photo Ribbon menu options allow you to modify photos right within Artisan, similar to a photo editing application (e.g., Adobe Photoshop^®). Although this ribbon was intended to be used primarily with photos, it can be used to modify any image on your page.

The Photo Ribbon includes the following menu items:
