Basic Operations

Quick Fix Wizard

> To launch the Quick Fix Wizard, select it for the Main Menu: Auto > Quick Fix Wizard

> This wizard will let you correct very easily all the exposure and color problems in a photo.

> To start correcting the picture you can get an accurate guess by pressing the "Suggest" button. The program will try to find the best combination of parameters (AutoStretch, Gamma, Contrast, Saturation, Color Cast, Fill Light and Back Light) to make your picture stand out more.

> The results will be shown in the picture preview box. If you are happy with them press the "Apply" button, otherwise you can adjust the sliders to match the result of your wish.

Quick Fix Parameters:

- The "Auto Stretch" will perform an intelligent histogram stretch, taking in account several different factors like the amount of shift between channels and color density distribution.
- The "Gamma increase" increases the midtones levels in dark pictures.
- The "Contrast" performs an unlinear stretch operation, changing contrast and at same time preserving highlights and shadows.
- The "Saturation" is provided to give more or less vividness to colors.
- The "Color Cast Detection" tries to find a color cast and to correct it. It's especially effective when the cast to remove is small.
- The "Smart Flash" increases the brightness and color saturation in the shadows locally. More details becoming more visible.
- The "Reduce Hilights" darkens the lights of the image locally. More details becoming more visible.
