Once doc um ented , how do yo u edit your im ages?Working in PIXLR EDITOR
PIXLR is now a Google product so it is integrated w/ Google apps (forexample, if you save images to Picasa they will be automatically available toinsert into posts within blogger)
PIXLR relies largely on its menu to execute various tasks (rather than
Command + shortcuts). This is because it operates within a web browserand there are already shortcuts in effect for the browser. The shortcuts thatwork for the browser such as (Command + X, Command + V) will also workwithin PIXLR
Its recommended that PIXLR is viewed at full screen. This is so that there
isnt confusion between the browser menu & the PIXLR menu . You canachieve this by going to the PIXLR Menu > View > Full Screen
