As I was poking around the latest Windows 10 Redstone 5 Fast Ring Build, 17741 which was released last Friday to testers, I happened to notice a change to the Microsoft Photos App. Now one does not likely have anything to do with the other but it is the configuration I noticed the difference in the Photos app.
Past versions of the Microsoft Photos app had a single screen UI for editing various aspects of your images such as cropping, filters and other adjustments like contrast, lighting and red eye fixes...

With the new breakdown as shown above, when you open an image for editing you land on the crop and rotate editing page. I suspect data showed Microsoft this was the most used feature in image editing and why it is the default. From there you can use the top tabbed options above the image to switch to editing filters and other adjustments...

The photos app would be far more useful if it had a levels adjustment feature.
