Editing
Editing
CyberViewer includes lightweight editing tools for rotate, crop, resize, color adjustments, and flips. Rotation starts as a visual preview. Crop, resize, and adjustments are rendered when you apply them, with a copy option available in each tool.
Rotate
Rotation Actions
| Action | Shortcut | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Rotate left | Q |
Rotate 90° counter-clockwise. |
| Rotate right | E |
Rotate 90° clockwise. |
Save Workflow
Rotation is previewed on the current image and remains pending until you save or discard it:
- Use the floating Save button to write the rotated image to the current file.
- Use File > Save As or
Ctrl+Sto export the current view to a new file. - Press
Escapeor use the floating Discard button to restore the original orientation. - Opening another editing tool cancels an uncommitted rotation preview so that tool starts from the original orientation.
The save operation renders the rotated image at full resolution. A 90° or 270° rotation swaps the output width and height.
Crop
How to Crop
- Click Crop or press
C. - The crop frame opens around the visible image.
- Drag inside the frame to move it, or drag a handle to resize it.
- Click Apply, or press
Enterwhen the crop is valid. - Press
Escapeto cancel the crop mode.
Crop Handles
- Eight handles are available: four corners and four edges.
- The frame cannot extend beyond the image.
- Corner handles preserve the frame's current aspect ratio.
- Edge handles allow independent horizontal or vertical resizing.
- The minimum crop dimension is 50 screen pixels before conversion to output pixels.
Crop Options
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Apply to a copy | Save a new file with the _cropped suffix and keep the source image. Enabled by default. |
| Apply | Render the selected region and save it. With copy mode off, the source file is overwritten. |
Crop mode starts from the original image orientation, so an uncommitted rotation preview is discarded when cropping begins. The result is inserted next to the current image when a copy is created.
Resize
How to Resize
- Click Resize or press
R. - Enter target width and height in pixels, or choose a preset.
- Keep the aspect lock enabled, or disable it for independent dimensions.
- Choose a resampling algorithm.
- Select whether to apply the result to a copy, then click Apply.
Resize Presets
| Preset | Result |
|---|---|
| 1:1 (1080) | Square output at 1080 × 1080 pixels. |
| 16:9 (720p) | 1280 × 720 pixels. |
| 16:9 (1080p) | 1920 × 1080 pixels. |
| 25% | Scale both dimensions to one quarter. |
| 50% | Scale both dimensions to one half. |
| 200% | Double both dimensions. |
Manual Resize
The resize panel provides:
- Editable width and height fields.
- A linked aspect-ratio lock.
- A combined scale slider while the lock is enabled.
- Independent width and height sliders when the lock is disabled.
- An estimated output scale and file size indicator.
Resampling Algorithms
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Fast | Nearest-neighbor resampling with sharp, fast output. |
| Balanced | Bilinear resampling with a smoother result. |
| High Quality | Bicubic resampling for smoother, more detailed output. |
Resize Options
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Apply to a copy | Save a new file and keep the source image. Enabled by default. |
| Apply | Render the new dimensions and save them. With copy mode off, the source file is overwritten. |
Color Adjustments
Adjustment Tools
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
| Brightness | Lighten or darken the image. |
| Contrast | Increase or decrease contrast. |
| Saturation | Adjust color intensity. |
| Blur | Apply a configurable blur effect. |
| Grayscale | Convert the image to grayscale. |
| Invert | Invert the image colors. |
Live Preview
- Click Adjust or press
J. - Change the sliders or enable grayscale and invert.
- The live preview updates over the main image while the preview toggle is enabled.
- Hold A/B to compare the original image with the current preview.
- Use Reset to return all controls to their neutral values.
The A/B control is momentary. The original is shown while the button is held with the mouse, Space, or Enter, and the edited preview returns when released.
Apply Workflow
| Action | Result |
|---|---|
| Apply to a copy | Save a new file with the _adjusted suffix and keep the source image. Enabled by default. |
| Apply | Render the full-resolution adjustment. With copy mode off, the source file is overwritten. |
| Close or Escape | Close the panel and discard the unsaved preview. |
Adjustments are rendered through a canvas at the image's full resolution. They do not modify the source until Apply is confirmed.
Flip
Flip Actions
| Action | Shortcut | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Flip horizontal | H |
Mirror the image left to right. |
| Flip vertical | Shift+H |
Mirror the image top to bottom. |
Flips are saved immediately as a new file with the _flipped suffix. The original image is preserved, and the generated copy is added after the current image in the folder view.
Editing Safety
- Rotation can be discarded while its preview is pending.
- Crop, resize, and adjustment tools default to Apply to a copy.
- Disabling copy mode explicitly allows the source file to be overwritten.
- Copy outputs use a deduplicated filename when a file with the same suffix already exists.
- If an image came from the clipboard, CyberViewer first gives it a local file path before saving an edit.
