GET STARTED FAST IN PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS
M
ost people would probably prefer to spend more
time taking photographs than editing them. For
this reason Photoshop Elements’ editing modes
are crammed full of menu commands that are
designed to automatically enhance your shots with the
minimum of time and effort on your part.
The automatic enhancement commands are designed to
overcome common photo problems with a few clicks. For
example, some shots will be over- or under-exposed, or
simply suffer from flat contrast. Photoshop Elements can
quickly analyse the tones (or ‘levels’) in a shot and then
attempt to adjust them to create a healthier spread
of shadows, midtones and highlights.
You’re also likely to encounter problems with colour.
You may have used an inappropriate Picture Style setting
in your camera, resulting in drab, desaturated colours.Your camera’s Auto White Balance (AWB) feature may have
failed to get whites looking white in a particular scene,
resulting in a photo that suffers from cold (blue) or warm
(orange) tints. Fortunately, you can apply an Auto Colour
Correction command to warm up or cool down shots in an
instant, producing more natural-looking colours.
Elements’ automatic enhancement commands aren’t
magic bullets that will solve any photo’s problems with a
click. The Auto Smart Fix command may do a great job of
improving flat contrast, but it can also add nasty colour
casts to the image (such as tinting a white background blue).
Fortunately, there’s an Auto Contrast command that will
change the image’s tones without creating unwanted shifts in
colour. Here we’ll look at some of the most useful automatic
enhancement commands, including the new and versatile
Auto Smart Tone command.Enhance your
