The Zoom Burst Guided Edit simulates a technique in manual photography, of zooming into an object with the shutter on the camera open.
For more information on how you can apply this effect, see the section on the Zoom Burst Guided Effect.
The Puzzle Effect Guided Edit simulates the effect of a photograph being put together in the form of pieces of a puzzle. You can choose from options that let you determine the size of the individual puzzle pieces. Displace a few pieces of the puzzle to make the effect look even more realistic.
For more information, see the section on the Puzzle Effect Guided Edit.
The Restore Old Photo Guided Edit brings all the tools you need to retouch a photo, into one location. The tools available in this Guided Edit are the most often-used tools by professional retouchers and gives you considerable, finely-tuned control. Use the Guided Edit's tools to remove blemishes, repair imperfections, and restore your older photos.
For more information, see the section on the Restore Old Photo Guided Edit.
When you perform straightening in photos, gaps are introduces along the edges of the photo when the content of photograph is rotated. This happens when you choose to maintain the original size of the photo, or grow/shrink the photo while keeping the background as transparent pixels.
When you select the new Autofill edges option in the Straighten Tool, content-aware technology automatically fills the empty gaps intelligently, with relevant image data.
For more information, see the section on how you can automatically fill empty edges while straightening an image.
Take the dreadful pet eye effect out of pictures of your pets. The flash on your camera is one of the main causes of the pet eye effect. However, taking pictures of your pet indoors or in low-light conditions without a flash is, often, not an option.

For more information and a video, see the article on removing the pet eye effect.
