Auto Enhance

Clicking the "ENHANCE" button will analyze the overall brightness and contrast of the
picture and automatically adjust the enhance values to obtain the best image. It is
particularly effective with under-exposed (dark) images. After applying automatic
enhancement to a photo you can adjust the values that were chosen, using the controls
to the right of the "enhance" button. Clicking the "COMPARE" button will restore the
original, clicking it again restores the last enhance values.

Brightness Contrast Saturation Color Temperature

The image is altered as you adjust these values. The saturation alters the color intensity.
At the minimum setting of -100 this will make a picture black and white. The Color
Temperature control makes a picture more ‘warm’ or ‘cool’. The Hue control applies a
particular color tint to the image and allows you to control the intensity of the selected
color.

Hue

The HUE slider lets you choose
the color to apply and the
STRENGTH slider sets the
intensity of the color change
applied.

Shadows brightness

The Shadows brightness control allows you to bring out the detail in the shadows (darker
areas) of your photo without affecting the rest of the image.
The slider is initially positioned on the far left of the slider scale as it is assumed that you
would always want to increase the shadow detail.
