The Image Editor lets you edit images—crop, rotate, focus, brightness, contrast, saturation, and more. It also features state-of-the-art photo filters and an easy-to-use text editor for adding text to an image.

You can find the Image Editor within Content Marketing Platform (CMP) from a few locations:

- From the **Library**, double-click on an image asset, then click **Edit**.
- From a task, select an image (from **Marketplace** or **Library**) and click **Choose and Edit**.
- Within a task, click **Edit** (icon) on an image to open the version editor. Then, click **Edit** (icon) in the top left corner for each version to open that specific version of the image within the Image Editor.

## Add preset or custom crop

You can select Preset Crops for organizations or social media platforms. You also can [create organization-specific custom crops](docId:8bWD7Q_hh_HDta6798NO2) to add to the Preset crops.

To custom crop an image, disable the **Keep Resolution** before modifying dimensions.

- **Task** – Coming from a task, click **Save**. These are available for that specific task only until you complete your task.
- **Image version** – Editing an image version creates another version within that task, and after you complete the task, the final version is available in the Library.
