Fixing Images Using the Adjust Wizard

Use the Adjust Wizard tool to correct the color balance, exposure, vividness, and sharpness of an image.

About the Adjust Wizard window

When you open the Adjust Wizard window, three previews of the image display. The left preview displays the image with less of the correction, the original displays in the center, and the image with more correction displays on the right.

For each correction, decide which preview looks the best, and then proceed to the next step. At any time you can use the buttons to pre­view, apply and change the view of the image previews.

• Click the Apply button to view the corrections on the original image.

• Click the Done button to apply the correction and close the Adjust Wizard window.

• Click Zoom button, left-click the mouse button to zoom-in (mag­nify) the image. Right-click the mouse to zoom-out (reduce the magnification of) the image. Click the Zoom button again to deac­tivate the zoom tool.

• Click the Pan button, click an image preview, and then drag the mouse to pan the image. Click the Pan button again to deactivate the pan tool.
