Adjustments
• Image Adjustments
Apply professional, darkroom-style color and histogram adjustments
to your images—giving you fingertip control over tones and colors.
Adjust Shadow/Highlight/Midtone to calm down overexposed skies in
one single operation without having to resort to manipulating curves
and levels. Employ the Blur and Sharpen tools to enhance or reduce
local detail... blend multiple layers more cleanly. There's even a
dedicated tool for removing "red eye" from flash photos.
• Apply Adjustment Layers from Adjustment Tab
Add adjustment layers easily—avoiding those time-consuming
dialogs! Simply select one of an impressive range of adjustment
presets and you're done! Each preset is designed to correct common
tonal or color image deficiencies, every one customizable to your
specific needs. To fine-tune any adjustment later, just click its layer
and change the settings!
• PhotoFix
Use for cumulative image adjustments! Adjustments include White
Balance, Lighting, and HSL (Hue/Saturation/Lightness).
Straighten and Crop your images—even control Exposure. Equally,
apply a Black and White Film effect, Sharpen, and fix Red Eye and
various lens-related problems amongst many others. A full-screen
dual-image preview display lets you compare and fix your images in
an instant.
• Retouching
Clone, Smudge, and Erase tools are included as essential retouch
tools. Use the PhotoFix’s Blemish Remover to subtly remove skin
blemishes and unwanted light reflections—all via blending. For more
heavy-duty retouch work, use the Patch Tool which is especially good
for blending out irregularly-shaped regions!
