Some Explanation of New Changes on v1.7

There are 3 modes in home page for selection: Edit, View and Slideshow.

Edit mode is selected by default. The new version enters edit mode directly. You do not need to tap edit button anymore. When you tap photo in edit mode, it enters edit mode for frame.

After you edit, you can tap "preview" button or go back to home page and select "view" mode. When you tap photo in view mode, it enlarges.

It makes clear separation between edit and view mode and make editing more fluid.
