Google Photos is one of the best ways to store all of your photos and videos online. Now, it's even better.

The web version of Google Photos at photos.google.com just rolled out a way to let you edit photos using easy-to-use adjustment sliders. The new editing tools were announced on Google Photos' Google+ page.

More impressive is the ability to jump between photos without losing any of the edits you make. All edits are saved and you can revert back to your original photo at any time by clicking the "Revert to Original" button.

In addition, the web version of Google Photos now lets you crop to specific aspect ratios (original, square, 16:9; and 4:3). Don't worry, you can still resize pictures freely.

Last month, Google announced it was retiring Picasa and would shift focus to beefing up Google Photos.

The new editing tools aren't as advanced as the Snapseed editing tools that Google+ Photos had, but they're better than nothing.

Here's to hoping Google continues to add more photo editing tools to Google Photos in the near future.
