ABSTRACT
This chapter shows how to fix up tones in digital photos and scans using Paint Shop Pro’sauto function tools.
Pictures shot with a digital camera, when viewed in a photo-editing program, often appear dull, flat,
boring or lifeless. There are two reasons for this: firstly, it might just be that you have taken a dull,
boring and lifeless photo but, more than likely, it’s because the camera has captured the picture data
in a lower-than-normal contrast mode, either because its processing software has made a mistake or
because that’s the way it was programmed. Some cameras save photo information in flatter-than-
normal contrast in order to capture maximum detail from subject highlights and shadows.
