Adjustments overview
Adjustments are made available to the right of the main window from the
Filters section. Here's a quick overview of all the adjustments hosted in
PhotoFix, some tool-based and some available as filters.
Retouch tools:
• Red Eye
Removes the dreaded red eye effect from subject's eyes—commonly
encountered with flash photography.
• Spot Repair
Removes skin blemishes and other flaws.
• Crop
Retains a print-size portion of your image while discarding the
remainder. Great for home printing, then framing. Optionally, size an
unconstrained selection area to crop.
• Straighten
Re-aligns slightly or wildly crooked photos by resetting the image's
horizon, then applying an auto-crop.
See supporting PhotoFix Help for more details.
Filter-based:
• White Balance
"Cool down" or "warm up" your photo by adjusting lighting either by
selecting presets or customizing temperature/tint combinations.
• Lighting
Simple adjustments to a photo's exposure, brightness, contrast,
shadows, and highlights.
• Curves
Correct the tonal range of a photo, i.e. the shadow, midtone, and
highlight regions—and control individual color components.
