Control Panel Location: Content ‣ Files ‣ File Manager ‣ Image Editor

The Image Editor page of the Control Panel allows you perform basic image editing tasks directly from ExpressionEngine. It is not intended to replace powerful image editing software such as Photoshop or Gimp, but rather to provide a quick option for common tasks from within the control panel.
