Formatting Pictures

Image adjustments

Word offers many options for changing the way images appear in your document. For example, you can add a frame, make image corrections, change the image's color or brightness, or even add some stylish artistic effects. These options are located in the Adjust and Picture Styles groups on the Format tab.

When you're ready to make adjustments or experiment with the look of an image, select the picture and choose one of these options from the Format tab:

  • Corrections: This command is located in the Adjust group. From here, you can sharpen or soften the image to adjust how blurry or clear it appears. You can also adjust the brightness and contrast, which controls how light or dark the picture appears.

  • Color: This command is located in the Adjust group. From here, you can adjust the image's saturation (how vivid the colors are), tone (the "temperature" of the image from cool to warm), or coloring (changing the overall color of the image).
