Remarks

Set the ShowEditMenuItem property to True to allow users to invoke the Image Editor from the control’s context menu, using the Edit command.

The Image Editor dialog provides basic image edit operations:

Crop and straighten
Adjust brightness, contrast and saturation
Mirror
Rotate
etc.

To open the Image Editor from code, use the PictureEdit.ShowImageEditorDialog method.

Handle the PictureEdit.ImageEditorDialogShowing/RepositoryItemPictureEdit.ImageEditorDialogShowing event to customize the Image Editor dialog, add custom edit tools, and change the settings of existing edit tools (for instance, add custom aspect ratios for crop operations).
