The Photo Tools 385

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 PHOTO TOOL provides a direct and very fast way of cropping, adjusting the brightness
levels and sharpening photos, even for ultra high-resolution images. This tool provides:
• One-click auto-enhance your photos; this is particularly good for dull, underexposed
images.
• Manually adjust the brightness, contrast, color saturation and blur or sharpness of
photos.
• Crop images. This is "live crop" so you can un-crop and adjust the crop at any time.
• Correct color casts or white balance.
• A single-click "Compare" function to quickly compare changes against the original.
• Easy copy / paste all photo enhance edits between different images.

All these operations are interactive with live update. As you adjust the values, the image
is updated instantly. They are also all non-destructive, meaning that your original image
is not altered and you can always adjust or remove any adjustment.

The first six InfoBar buttons to the left (not shown above) are common to all tools and are
