The Photo Tool
provides a direct and very fast way of cropping, adjusting the brightness levels and sharpening photos,
even for ultra high-resolution images. This tool provides:
One-click auto-enhance your photos; this is particularly good for dull, underexposed images.
Manually adjust the brightness, contrast, color saturation and blur or sharpness of photos.
Crop images. This is "live crop" so you can un-crop and adjust the crop at any time.
Correct color casts or white balance.
A single-click "Compare" function to quickly compare changes against the original.
Easy copy / paste all photo enhance edits between different images.
All these operations are interactive with live update. As you adjust the values, the image is updated
instantly. They are also all non-destructive, meaning that your original image is not altered and you can
always adjust or remove any adjustment.
The first six InfoBar buttons to the left (not shown above) are common to all tools and are described
above

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.
