Adjusting color and tone

When you need to adjust the color and tone of

photos, the Image Adjustment Lab (Adjust `

Image Adjustment Lab) should be your first

stop. It lets you brighten or darken a photo,

improve the contrast, reveal image detail, and

correct washed-out colors. You can experiment

with different settings and capture them in

snapshots, so that you can compare different

versions and choose the best result. For more

information, see “Adjusting color and tone” in

the Help.
