Editing

Open the edit panel with E. Editing in bloom is non-destructive: your file on disk is never changed, and the live preview is exactly what exports.

The modifier stack

Effects are applied top to bottom as a stack. Each one is a separate step you can retune, reorder, or remove at any time.

Add a modifier
Pick it from the modifier list in the edit panel
Reorder
Drag a modifier up or down the stack
Retune
Click a modifier to expand its controls
Remove
Delete it from the stack
Compound
Add the same modifier twice to stack its effect

On-canvas tools

Four tools live at the top of the edit panel, each with a keyboard shortcut.

Select S
Pan and inspect without editing
Crop C
Drag a region directly on the image
Draw D
Freehand brush strokes, adjustable size
Text T
Type on the canvas, crisp at any zoom

Crop, draw, and text are themselves modifiers in the stack, so they too are non-destructive and can be reordered or removed. Brush size is adjustable with [ and ] while the draw tool is active.
