Edit Photos

With File Station, you can edit photos with web-based external photo editors, such as Pixlr Editor or Pixlr Express.

To edit a photo with an web-based photo editor:

  1. Browse to the folder where the photo is located.
  2. Right-click the photo and choose Edit in Pixlr Editor or Edit in Pixlr Express.
  3. The chosen photo editor will be opened in a new browser window. You can see your photo in a moment, and then edit it with the provided tools.
  4. After you finish editing your photo, do the following to save your photo.

Note: To edit your photos with any of the web-based photo editors, make sure your DiskStation has successfully retrieved an external IP address (at Main Menu > Control Panel > DDNS or Main Menu > Control Panel > Network > Network Interface > PPPoE, depending on your network configuration). If your DiskStation is located behind a router, make sure you have specified the port forwarding rule for DSM at Main Menu > Control Panel > Router Configuration. If you still have trouble opening the photo editors, you might need to specify the router port for DSM at Main Menu > Control Panel > DSM Settings > Router Port.
