The answers to today's Strands, game #517, are FILTER CROP BLUR ADJUST ERASE 
MARKUP ROTATE SPANGRAM: PHOTO EDITOR My rating: Easy My score: Perfect 

The very first thing I saw in todays grid was the word PHOTO, but when it 
didnt turn blue I thought we must be looking for some other art-based topic. 
Then I saw the word EDITOR and put the pair of words together and landed 
todays spangram. 

From here it was a matter of thinking of as many photo-editing words as I 
could and then finding them on the board. FILTER and CROP came first, as they 
are my two most-used tools. 

All of this has reminded me that, being something of a fat-fingered snapper, 
the key thing I need to do with my photo library on my phone is to delete all 
the many shots I have of the floor, my hand or the inside of my pockets. No 
amount of photo editing can fix them. Yesterday's NYT Strands answers
