# Editing images

> Clean up page images manually or with a saved profile before export.

After scanning, you can clean up page images before exporting them — cropping, deskewing, denoising, adjusting contrast, and so on.

This stage matters most when you're working with mobile photos or scans that have complex backgrounds (for example, passports or certificates). Better inputs here mean better recognition and extraction downstream in Vantage.

## Image Editing toolbar

The **Image Editing toolbar** sits above the Image window and provides tools for editing pages manually.

To display it, select **View > Toolbars > Image Editing**. For the full list of tools, see [One-time editing actions](/vantage/documentation/scanning-station/operator/one-time-edit).

## Processing Profiles window

The **Processing Profiles window** lets an Operator define a sequence of editing actions. Each profile applies its actions to pages in order, from the first action in the profile to the last.

To open the Processing Profiles window, do one of the following:

* Click **Show Processing Profiles** on the Image Editing toolbar.
* Select **View > Show Processing Profiles**.

For details on building and running profiles, see [Processing profiles](/vantage/documentation/scanning-station/operator/processing-profiles).
