The Image Editor
Overview
Some paragraph types in the template editor let you add images. An integrated image editor enables you to edit these images directly in Optimizely Campaign.
Working with the image editor
General layout and functionality
The image editor is displayed as a large pop-up menu on top of the template editor user interface. It does not have a separate entry in the page selector in the top bar. If you switched to another page while the image editor was open, you can go back by selecting the Edit Content-Page where you opened the editor.
On the left of the image editor is the tool selection. On the far-left-hand side, vertically stacked tabs cluster the tools into following categories (top-to-bottom):
- Transform (cropping and rotating)
- Filters (pre-set color and contrast adjustments)
- Adjust (custom color and contrast adjustments)
- Focus (blur image or parts of image)
- Overlays (add special effects)
- Text (write on your image)
- Stickers (add shapes and emoticons)
- Brush (paint on your image)
Opening an image in the editor
Prerequisites: You see a message draft in the template editor. There is a paragraph of the type text/image or image bar which contains an image.

Editing an image
Use the menu on the left of the image editor to select tool categories and tools. Adjust values, paint or write on the image and drag selection frame handles as you would in a desktop graphics software. To undo or redo editing steps, use the buttons Undo and Redo below the image.
