Other tools

Use these tools to help you review identifications faster.

Adjust the brightness, contrast or saturation of an image

If your images are too dark, too light, or anything in between, you can use the Edit Photo tools to get a clearer picture of what’s in an image. On the top of the identification panel, click the Edit Photo tab and adjust the sliders for brightness, contrast or saturation or choose one of the presets available.

Correct image timestamp

You can fix incorrect date/time stamps caused by camera failures or metadata issues. Navigate to the Metadata tab of any individual image and click Edit to change the date and time taken. You can apply the new date/time to the single image or update the date/time for all images within the same deployment. WARNING! For the latter, the timestamps of ALL OTHER IMAGES in the deployment will shift proportionally.

Favorite, or Highlight an image

When you’re viewing an image in the large preview mode, you can easily flag it as a favorite so you can quickly access it later! In the identification panel, click on the star icon above the word Highlight.

Note: All highlighted images will be available publicly on the Explore page.
