The first six InfoBar buttons to the left (not shown above) are common to all tools and are
described above
Auto-Enhance
Brightness
Contrast
Color Saturation
Color Temperature
Hue
Blur / Sharpen
Compare with original
In this tool you can adjust brightness, contrast, saturation, temperature, hue and
blur/sharpen. You can either enter values directly into the text fields or use a small
pop-up slider for adjusting the values interactively.
Pop-up slider controls
The pop-up sliders can be used in one of two ways:
1. Click and release the pop-up arrow. The slider control now remains on screen
and you can adjust the values as many times as you like by dragging the slider
control. Alternatively, if the mouse is held over the control, the mouse-wheel
can be used to make small adjustments up or down. The slider will hide when
you click anywhere else in the document.
2. Or you can click & hold the mouse button down, and drag over the slider bar to
adjust the value. When you release the mouse the pop-up vanishes. This is a
quicker more direct way, since it requires only one click & release to alter the
values.
Auto Enhance
Clicking the "ENHANCE" button will analyze the overall brightness and contrast of the
picture and automatically adjust the enhance values to obtain the best image. It is
particularly effective with under-exposed (dark) images. After applying automatic
enhancement to a photo you can adjust the values that were chosen, using the
controls to the right of the "enhance" button. Clicking the
"COMPARE" button will
restore the original, clicking it again restores the last enhance values.
