Some effects are applied to the entire image while some ('interlace' for example) are only applied to the selected area. Click this button to select the entire area. The selected area (width by height) is displayed in bold when the entire photo is selected.
Pressing 'unselect' will unselect any area you previously selected. For some operations (for example 'Interlace'), the entire image will be changed if no area is selected.
Sometimes you just have to take a closer look. This feature comes in handy when you want to fix red eye. Zoom in to the effected area to select the pupil and surrounding area then click 'redeye'. Also useful for fine-grained selection. Zooming does not change the size of your photo - to resize your photo click 'resize'

Cut your photo down to size before your printer does! The aspect ratio of your camera may not match your
printer's aspect ratio. 
This can result in missing heads and relatives when you go to print your photos.
Avoid disappointment by cropping your photos to match your
printer. Various pre-defined aspect ratios are provided for your cropping pleasure.
Some day all digital cameras will be smart enough to know what orientation your photo should appear in.

Blur is useful for toning down unwanted blemishes. Select the area that needs 'soft focus' and click blur.
My personal favourite. The lomo effect adds a soft dark halo around your photo - it can also make colors more vivid. It's cheaper than buying a Lomo camera.
