Image Adjustments and Effects 51

Introduction to image adjustments

A major part of photo-editing is making corrections (i.e., adjustments) to your

own near-perfect images. Whether you’ve been snapping with your digital

camera or you've just scanned a photograph, at some point you may need to call

on PhotoPlus’s powerful photo-correction tools to fix some unforeseen

problems.

For photo-correction, several methods can be adopted. You can use a

combination of:

Image color adjustments: For applying color adjustments to a selection or

layers.

PhotoFix: For making cumulative corrective adjustments from within a

studio environment.

Retouch brush-based tools: Red Eye, Smudge, Blur, Sharpen, Dodge/Burn

(for exposure control), Sponge (for saturation control), Scratch Remover.

If you work with raw images you can make image adjustments on your

unprocessed raw file (before interpolation). Adjustments include white balance,

exposure, highlight recovery, noise reduction, and chromatic aberration

removal. See Opening a raw image on p. 22.

Overview: Adjusting image colors

PhotoPlus provides a number of different adjustment filters that you can apply

to a selection or to an active standard layer. Typically, these adjustments are used

to correct deficiencies in the original image.

Each adjustment can be applied in one of several ways:

via the Adjustments tab, as an Adjustment Layer. (Non-destructive).

via PhotoFix, a studio environment for managing and applying cumulative

adjustments. (Non-destructive).

via Image>Adjust, on a Filter Layer. (Non-destructive).

via Image>Adjust, on a standard layer. (Destructive).
