## Understanding the Image Editing Tool

---

The image editing tool enables users to apply basic transformations and download the modified result for external use, supporting the following:

- Crop
- Rotate
- Flip Horizontally
- Flip Vertically

Once the desired adjustments have been made, the edited image can be **downloaded**. Please note: the original file stored in the system remains **unchanged** — edits are not saved back to the Media Holder.
