Introduction |
In this lesson we will illustrate
how to set things up to repair your
images. We will learn how to select
images, rotate them if necessary and
set up the “Before & After Views”.
We will learn how to zoom in and out
on various parts of your image.
In the lessons that follow, we will
cover 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 as shown. |
 |
|
|
|
Step #2: Fix |
|
|
The next step is to use the “Icon
Menu” & click on:
[ Fix ] |
 |
|
|
|
Step #3: Fix
Photo |
|
|
From the drop down menu, select:
[ Fix Photo ] |
 |
|
|
|
Step #4:
Confirmation |
|
|
No Change to Original Photo
You will receive a message that
indicates that the changes that you
are about to make will occur on a
copy of your original,
not the original itself.
This is a safety measure so that
your original photo remains
untouched. Your original will not
appear in the “Photo Well”,
only the edited version will appear. |
 |
|
Note: |
A future Lesson will show you how to
get back to your original. |
|
|
|
Step #5: The
Fix Screen |
|
|
The “Fix Screen” now appears.
It allows for these corrections:
General:
Fix Lighting
Fix Color
Fix Sharpness
Fix Red Eye
Crop photo to size
Add Filter Effects |
 |
|
|
|
Step #6:
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 or not.
The left pane will show the photo
without any changes.
The right pane will show the
cumulative effect of your changes. |
 |
|
|
|
Step #7:
Rotate Image |
|
|
We recommend that you rotate the
image if it is necessary.
This is done by clicking on one of
the icons circled in red below.
The left icon will rotate the image:
To the left
Counter-clockwise
The right icon will rotate the
image:
To the right
Clockwise
|
 |
|
|
|
Step #8:
Size of Preview |
There are two ways of controlling
the size of the Preview Panes
Fit To Screen
Zoom to Actual Pixels
|
|
Step #8a: Fit
To Screen |
|
|
The button circled in red, is called
the “Fit To Window” button.
It sets your screen so that the
Before & After images fit in their
entirety. It allows you to see each
image completely. |
 |
|
Step #8b: Zoom
Out |
|
|
The button circled in red on the
left side is called the “Actual
Pixels” button.
It is used with the slider circled
in red. This slider is called the
“Zoom Slider”.
With this button depressed, you can
move the slider horizontally.
Both the “Before & After”
images will get smaller
in the frame as you slide to the
left. |
 |
|
Note: |
When you zoom in on the image, you
may need to use the scroll bars to
position the image appropriately.
See Step # 14 |
|
Step #8c: Zoom
In |
|
|
The button circled in red on the
left side is called the “Actual
Pixels” button.
It is used with the slider circled
in red. This slider is called the
“Zoom Slider”.
With this button depressed, you can
move the slider horizontally.
Both the “Before & After”
images will get larger
in the frame as you slide to the
right. |
