Enhancing Images
Before they will be ready for display or output on a monitor or printer, images captured from
the camera will usually need to be adjusted to a size and resolution appropriate to the task at
hand. Other settings, such as white balance, contrast, sharpness, luminosity, color brightness,
chroma, and hue, Photo Effects, Image Dust Off, D-Lighting, Red eye correction, fi sheye lens
settings, and automatic color settings for portraits or landscapes, may also require adjust-
ment. These ad just ments are performed using the image adjustment tool palettes.
