More guided solutions
Let’s try a few more of the guided touchups on a different image.
1 In the Organizer, select the image DSC_0347.jpg; then, click the Editor button.
Fluorescent back-lighting behind the translucent surface
on which the bottles are standing has caused a combina-
tion of problems in this photo. e image not only has a
dull, yellow-green color cast, but like many back-lit pho-
tos, it’s also underexposed—in auto-exposure mode, the
camera has reduced the exposure in order to compensate
for the brightness of the background.
2 In the Guided Edits panel, choose the Remove A
Color Cast adjustment from the Touchups category.
Move the eyedropper cursor over the image and click
on the translucent background between the bottles
to reset the white point; then, click Done.
3 Choose the Brightness And Contrast guided touchup in the Guided Edits panel.
Click the Brightness And Contrast Auto Fix button, and then click Done.
4 Click the Sharpen edit in the Touchups list. Drag the Zoom slider to 100%, or
choose View > Actual Pixels; working at 1:1 zoom level will help you to avoid
the image artifacts that can result from over-sharpening. Click the Auto Fix
button in the Sharpen Photo pane. Click Done; then, choose Save As. Save the
new file as DSC_0347_CC-BC.jpg, with all the usual settings, and then close it.
