Part I: Getting Started

Using Edit Quick mode

Edit Quick mode is designed to provide you with just those tools that you

need to prepare a picture for its intended destination, whether it’s printing,

onscreen viewing, or one of the other organizing items. Use this mode to

make your pictures look good. You don’t find tools for adding text, painting

with brushes, or applying gradients in Edit Quick mode. Rather, what you

find is a completely different set of panels for balancing contrast and bright-

ness, lighting, and sharpening, for example. This mode is like having a digital

darkroom on your desktop, where you take care of perfecting an image like

you would in analog photography darkrooms.

To enter Edit Quick mode while you’re in Edit Full mode, click the Edit

Full button to open the drop-down menu and choose Edit Quick; the view

changes, as shown in Figure 1-13.
