Basic Touchup

Almost all photos can be improved with basic touchup. Picture It! touchup tools can be used to correct common photo problems such as red eye or lighting problems, and similar distractions that can ruin a photo. In many cases, Picture It! helps you eliminate basic problems with just a few clicks.

Touchup tools can, in many cases, help compensate for problems with expo- sure, lighting, or composition. Touchup tools can even hide flaws such as blemishes or stains on clothing.

Adjusting Brightness and Contrast

When you take a photo with an automatic camera, the camera’s automatic exposure feature measures the available light and determines how much light is required to take the photo. Sometimes, the exposure meter’s measurement is too low or too high, creating problems with brightness and contrast in the photo. Picture It! provides tools to fix the levels of brightness and contrast.

To correct brightness and contrast:

1On the Touchup menu, click Brightness and Contrast.

2Click Levels auto fix.

3If you are not satisfied with the result, click Contrast auto fix.

4If you are not satisfied with the result, fine-tune the settings with the Brightness and Contrast sliders.

5Click Done.

Making a copy to touch up

Never edit one of your original photos. Always make a copy and edit only the copy. Then if you later decide that you don’t like how the edits turned out, you can start again by making another copy from the original.

The photo on the left is both too dark and too low contrast. The levels auto fix tool was applied to the version on the right, correcting both the brightness and contrast levels.
