Lesson 5
Fixing Photos
Basic Setup |
When images are captured by a
digital camera, the quality of the
image often suffers in the
digitalization process. |
|
|
|
Introduction |
In this lesson we will illustrate
how to set things up to repair your
images. You will learn how to select
images, rotate them if necessary and
set up the Before & After Views.
In the lessons that follow, we will
cover how to make the actual
repairs. |
|
|
|
Step #1: Select a Photo |
|
|
To fix a photo, you have to select
the photo that you want to work on
from the “Photo Well”.
This is done by clicking on the
photo.
A
yellow box will appear around to
photo to indicate that it has been
selected |
 |
|
|
|
Step #2: Select to Fix |
|
|
The next step is to use the “Icon
Menu” & click on:
[ Fix ] |
 |
|
|
|
Step #3: Not
on the Original |
|
|
You will receive a message
indicating that the changes you are
about to make will occur on a copy
of your original, not on the
original itself.
This is a safety measure so your
original photo will always remain
untouched. Your original will not
appear in the “Photo Well”. Only the
edited version will appear in the
“Photo Well”.
Click on:
[ OK ] |
 |
|
|
|
Step #4:
Starting |
|
|
The “Fix” screen will appear. |
 |
|
|
|
Step #5:
Before & After |
|
|
We recommend that you click on the
tab at the top that is labeled:
[ Before & After ]
This will allow you to assess each
correction to the photo and decide
whether the intended correction
improves the photo.
The left pane will show the photo
without any changes.
The right pane will show the
cumulative effect of your changes. |
 |
|
|
|
Step #6:
Rotate |
|
|
We recommend that you rotate the
image if it is necessary.
This is done by clicking on one of
the icons circled in red.
The left icon will rotate the image:
To the left or counter-clockwise.
The right icon will rotate the
image:
To the right or clockwise. |
 |
|
|
|
Step #7: Ready
for Action |
|
|
Our image has now been rotated and
we are ready to start our repairs. |
