Manual Stabilization
Use manual stabilization to fine-tune photos that didn't align correctly, or to adjust photos where automatic detection failed.
When to Use
- Photos showing ⚠ "No Faces Found" status
- Photos showing ✗ "Failed" status
- Photos that aligned but look slightly off
- When you want precise control over positioning
Step-by-Step Guide
1Open a photo for adjustment
In the Gallery, tap on a photo you want to manually adjust. Look for photos with warning badges.
2Position the image
Use touch or mouse to adjust:
- Drag anywhere on the image to move it
- Drag corner handles to resize (maintains aspect ratio)
- Drag edge handles to stretch
- Drag the rotation handle (top center) to rotate
Align your eyes with the guide lines shown on the preview.
3Fine-tune with controls
For precise adjustments, use the control panel:
- Horiz. Offset — Shifts image left (negative) or right (positive)
- Vert. Offset — Shifts image up (negative) or down (positive)
- Scale Factor — Zoom level (1.0 = original size)
- Rotation — Tilt in degrees (positive = clockwise)
Use the +/- buttons for small adjustments, or type values directly.
4Save your changes
When your eyes align with the guide lines, tap Save (top-right). Your changes will be applied to the stabilized output.

Use Shift with movement and rotation keys for larger adjustments. This makes it quick to make big changes, then fine-tune with smaller increments.
