Photos: Color effects

Sunburned? Got that washed out look?

Color effects to the rescue!

You'll find them in the Photo Tools Menu.

Digital cameras very often produce photos that are too red indoors with the built-in flash. The tanning salon may sound like something fake a pro wrestler would use, but it's a technique of professional photographers to achieve more accurate and pleasing skin tones.

The auto color found in color effects is a common, "I'm feeling lucky" adjustment that programs like Adobe Photoshop use. It often improves the photo, especially if it lacks contrast. But like any automatic computer-based adjustment, your mileage may vary. Improving contrast can also mean showing blemishes more clearly; but it makes flowers in the field look more vibrant.

Note:  The Auto Color option in the shopping cart is completely different.
