The Photo Tools 383

Zoom 1:1
Select a photo and click the Zoom 1:1 button.

The ZOOM TO 1:1 adjusts the zoom so that the selected image is shown at full size, which
is where each pixel of the image is mapped to each screen pixel. Use this option if you
want to work on a photo at full size in a document where you have scaled the photo
down.

Scale photo to 100%

The SCALE PHOTO TO 100% operation takes the currently selected photo and
scales it to its full size. It also puts the photo onto the pixel grid.

So for example if the selected photo is scaled down to 500 pixels wide, but the original
imported photo was 1000 pixels wide, the photo on the page will be scaled up to 1000
pixels wide. When the document zoom is 100%, that means that each pixel of the image
is mapped to each screen pixel.

Enhance Tool

Click the Camera icon to enter the ENHANCE TOOL.

The Enhance Tool provides a direct and very fast way of adjusting the brightness,
contrast, color adjustment levels and sharpening of photos, You can also adjust the
individual colors within a photo, even for ultra high-resolution images.

The tool provides:

• One-click auto-enhance your photos; this is particularly good for dull, underexposed
images.
• Manually adjust the brightness, contrast, color saturation, color temperature, hue, and
blur or sharpness of photos.
• Manually adjusts the brightness of the shadows in a photo.
• Manually adjusts the brightness of the highlights in a photo.
• Display a brightness levels histogram of your photo.
• Adjust the brightness levels curve for more advanced levels control.
• Correct color casts or white balance.
• Enhances the individual colors of a photo.
• A single-click "Compare" function to quickly compare changes against the original.
• Crop images. This is "live crop" so you can un-crop and adjust the crop at any time.
• Easy copy / paste all photo enhance edits between different images.
