It can set the luminosity, the contrast, the saturation or the blur/sharpen level. It allows you to resize the picture by adjusting the width and the height. This is a handy tool in case you want to create a personalized image or hide some photo details. To sum up, I think that this is a nice and simple application that can be used by any user.
