Review answers
1 Expert mode provides the most flexible and powerful image correction environment,
with lighting and color correction commands and tools for fixing image defects,
making selections, adding text, and painting on your images. Quick edit provides
easy access to a range of basic image editing controls for quickly making common
adjustments and corrections. If you’re new to digital photography, Guided edit steps
you through each procedure to help you get professional-looking results.
2 Yes; the Enhance menu in Expert mode contains commands that are equivalent to
the Auto buttons in the Quick Edit Adjustments panel: Auto Smart Fix, Auto Levels,
Auto Contrast, Auto Color Correction, as well as Auto Red Eye Fix. e Enhance menu
also provides an Adjust Smart Fix command, which opens a dialog box in which you
can specify settings for automatic adjustments.
3 e Photo Bin provides easy access to the photos you want to work with, without
needing to leave the Editor workspace. You can set the Project Bin to display all the
photos that are currently selected in the Media Browser, just those images that are
open in the Editor (helpful when some of the open images are hidden behind the front
window), or the entire contents of any album in your catalog.
4 e Smart Brush is both a selection tool and an image adjustment tool—it creates
a selection based on similarities in color and texture, through which your choice of
editing preset is applied. You can choose from close to seventy Smart Brush presets,
each of which can be customized, applied repeatedly for a cumulative effect, or layered
with other adjustment presets to produce an almost infinite variety of results.
5 If an image’s color temperature is too warm or too cool, it will have either a orange-red
or blue color cast. A yellow-green or magenta color cast is referred to as a tint.
