You can use the design tools in the Options pane to apply several color effects to a photo used on a card. These effects are applied only to the instance of the photo that is used for the card, and are not applied to the photo in your iPhoto library.
If you want to rotate, enhance, retouch, or otherwise edit a photo used on a card, use the iPhoto editing tools. Any edits you make with the editing tools are applied to all instances of the photo, including the photo in your iPhoto library and any other projects that use the photo.
