Introduction to image adjustments<br />

Making Image Adjustments 35<br />

A major part of photo-editing is making corrections (i.e., adjustments) to your<br />

own near-perfect images. Whether you’ve been snapping with your digital<br />

camera or you've just scanned a photograph, at some point you may need to call<br />

on <strong>PhotoPlus</strong>’s powerful photo-correction tools to fix some unforeseen<br />

problems.<br />

For photo-correction, several methods can be adopted. You can use a<br />

combination of:<br />

• Image colour adjustments: For applying colour adjustments to a<br />

selection or layers.<br />

• PhotoFix: For making cumulative corrective adjustments from within<br />

a studio environment.<br />

• Retouch brush-based tools: Red Eye, Smudge, Blur, Sharpen,<br />

Dodge/Burn (for exposure control), Sponge (for saturation control),<br />

Scratch Remover.<br />

If you work with raw images you can make image adjustments on your<br />

unprocessed raw file (before interpolation). Adjustments include white balance,<br />

exposure, highlight recovery, noise reduction, and chromatic aberration<br />

removal. See Adjusting raw images in <strong>PhotoPlus</strong> Help.
