A. There are many tools for correcting problems and selecting portions of a photo. B. The Photo Bin lets you see which photos are open in the
Editor. C. The Palette Bin holds palettes that you use to transform and enhance photos.
As you work on your photos in the Editor, perform the following tasks in the order listed:
1. Specify a color management option
Specify color management options. (See "To set up color management" on page 152.)
2. View the image at 100% and crop if necessary
Before making any color corrections, view the image at a zoom percentage of 100%. At 100%, Photoshop Elements
displays the image most accurately. You can also check for image defects, such as dust spots or scratches. If you plan
to crop the file, do it now to save on memory requirements and to ensure that the histogram uses only relevant infor-
mation.
3. Check the scan quality and tonal range
Look at the image's histogram to evaluate whether the image has sufficient detail to produce high-quality output. (See
"To view a histogram" on page 128.)
