In this example we will use CorrectPhoto's Cropping tool and OneClick
Color Correction Features.
|
First, select the photo
from My Pictures folder
using CorrectPhoto's built-in Windows Explorer.
Or, if you are using the new Vista Photo Gallery you can Right
Click on the thumbnail and OPEN WITH CorrectPhoto.
Note: You can save
the final corrected picture in the same folder or using File/Save As to
put it into another folder. If this is the first picture you
correct and save the Auto Archive feature will ask you if you want to
archive the original file. It is a good idea to archive your
original shots for future reference. |

|
With CorrectPhoto, you can crop to specific print sizes like
3x5, 4x6, 5x7, etc. Two, you can turn an average snapshot
into a more meaningful portrait by zeroing in on the important
elements and leaving out the rest.
Select4 x 6 Portrait Cropping Format
|
Grab the black squares to change the size of the crop window and
position the curser inside the box with the left mouse button
depressed and you can move the crop window. When you are satisfied
click the Apply button on the tool bar. (Note: The cropped
picture is automatically rezed up to maintain high print
resolution) |
|
Step 3.
OneClick Color Correction |
CorrectPhoto's unique OneClick color correction is automatically
activated when you apply the crop. Move the curser over
the image and click on one or more neutral areas (white, grey or
black). In this photo we clicked on the white area of the
heron's neck. Normally, that is all you have to do.
If
you think adjusting the brightness, contrast or saturation would
be beneficial simply click on the color icon on the tool bar and
follow the instructions. We increased the Saturation slightly.

Step 4. Save the Great Nature
Photo |
Save the final picture by either clicking on the little floppy
icon on the tool bar or the File/Save As on the file menu.
Note the other functions under the File Menu which are designed
to help you create and organize a final set of corrected photos of your
event or trip.
|
The final picture is 1728 x 2592 pixels resulting in a great 4x6
print. We uploaded it to Sam's Club Online Prints and picked up the print at our local Sam's club. |

Step 5. Title the Photo with
ImageTitler |
Right Click on the photo to be titled and
Open With ImageTitler
