Enhanced! Express Lab: Launched with a click in the Organizer, the Express
Lab provides a faster way to perform common editing tasks, enabling users to
scroll through their photos, make quick fixes, apply effects, and delete pictures
that didn’t turn out. An instant preview offers a quick look at any changes.
The Express Lab has tools for the most common digital photography problems.
The Express Lab gives photo enthusiasts instant access to the most frequently
used tools and quick fixes for the most common problems, including:
• Straighten Tool: Users can easily straighten crooked images by simply
specifying a line along an image feature that should be horizontal or
vertical, such as the horizon or a building.
• Smart Photo Fix: In a single click, Smart Photo Fix analyzes an image and
suggests settings for auto-correcting brightness, shadows, highlights, and
saturation.
•New! Local Tone Mapping: This new tool increases the dynamic range in a
photo, drawing more detail out of image areas, such as clouds, sky, stone,
and sand.
•New! Color Balance: Any number of factors — for example, the type of
lighting used, the processing that occurs inside the camera, or whether an
image was scanned — can cause incorrect coloring in photos. Using the Color
Balance Tool to cool or warm colors, photo enthusiasts can improve a photo
dramatically.
•New! Adjust Contrast/Brightness: Incorrect exposure levels can ruin an
otherwise great shot. The Adjust Contrast/Brightness tool lets users salvage
those photos by quickly brightening underexposed images and darkening
overexposed images.
• Makeover Tool: The Makeover Tool has five modes for improving how
subjects in a photo look. The Toothbrush mode quickly whitens discolored
teeth, the Suntan Brush mode adds color to pale, washed-out skintones, and
the Blemish Fixer mode can remove over blemishes. In addition, the Thinify
™
mode helps people lose those pounds the camera sometimes adds, and the
Eye Drop mode takes the red out of bloodshot eyes.
