Crop and straighten
R opens the crop. Drag the corners, rotate outside the frame or with the straighten slider, and set keystone correction. The crop zooms in just enough that no empty corner shows.
Presets, copy and paste
The left rail holds built-in looks and your presets; hovering one previews it, a click applies it. ⌘C copies chosen modules of the edit, ⌘V pastes them onto the selection. Presets can be exported as albedo files or for Lightroom.
History, snapshots and versions
Every change is one undo step. Snapshots save the current edit under a name; versions keep alternative edits of the same photo.
