Microsoft is developing a new tool for Edge that will widen the prospect for users to “capture content” from the browser. According to a report by WindowsCentral, the latest build of Edge Canary includes a feature that allows users to edit images before saving them. The report also mentions that this new feature was first flagged by à Reddit user and can be accessed “as part of a controlled rollout for Edge Canary.”
How will the new Microsoft Edge saved image editor work
Currently, when users right-click on an image in Microsoft Edge, it gives them an option to save the photo and grabs the exact image that appears on the screen. The option is important for capturing content online but its functionality is limited. For example, when users have to crop the saved images they have to open up a photo editor and then crop it. However, this new feature will allow users to do so “directly within Edge,” the report suggests.
What tools will Microsoft Edge saved image editor offer
The report has also shared some screenshots of the tools that the new feature will offer. The image editor will include tools such as — cropping, adjustments, filters, and marking. Moreover, the editor will also offer an adjustments feature that is expected to support different kinds of filters and effects which will help users to make an image more dynamic or vivid.
As per the report, none of these tools is completely new for users as they are offered by most common image editing services. However, having these tools directly built into a browser can be helpful, saving some time and hassle to edit saved images on another photo editing platform. The report also mentions that the internet is the primary source of viewing content for most users and the ability to save any image from the web while having the option to crop, adjust the photo, or take notes can be an important addition.
