The text tool comes in handy if you’ve realised that customers have no way of knowing which variant belongs to each photograph (e.g. which swatch is Aviator blue and which swatch is Artic blue) and need to add a label.
I’m paranoid, and like to duplicate the product (top right of the product screen) before I work on it, in case of accidents).
Open up your product in the admin/products screen and scroll down to the images for that product. Click on the pencil ‘edit’ tool at the bottom left of the photo
Crop, rotate or otherwise enhance your image and Apply the change
Remember to save your changes
Once you are happy with your changes you can delete the duplicated backup product if you created one.
As you can see, the updated image is a far better product photo for your website as it shows the product (an abstract silver statue) in more detail, and removes the peculiar pink colour caste on the original image.
