Shifts all colors in an image. This control is best used in small amounts or with selected objects whose color you want to change.
Vibrance
Causes lower saturated colors to turn vivid, without allowing clipping to occur for the higher-saturation colors. This control enables you to
vary skin tones without becoming oversaturated.
Balance Adjusts the color balance of an image without affecting its contrast.
Temperature
Drag the slider to make the colors warmer (red) or cooler (blue). Use this control to enhance sunsets or skin tones, or when the color
balance set by your camera is off.
Tint
Drag the slider to make the color more green or more magenta. Use this control to fine-tune the colors after using the Temperature control.
Sharpen Adjusts the sharpness of your image. Click Auto to use the default amount of sharpening.
Sharpen
Drag the slider to vary the amount of sharpening. Zoom your preview at 100% to get a more accurate view of the amount of sharpening you
are trying to apply.
Fix photos with touch up buttons
The touch up buttons are available in Quick mode, in the Modify panel. These buttons enable you to apply corrections and adjustments to selected
parts of an image. The red eye removal tool, spot healing tool, and healing brush tool modify the same layer. The whiten teeth tool creates and
works on a new adjustment layer. Also, the text tools create a new layer for edits. As a result, some tools do not permanently edit information on
the image layer. You can always change adjustment settings without degrading the original image. The Whiten Teeth, Touch Up buttons apply
adjustments found in the Smart Brush tool. See Adjust color and tonality using the Smart Brush tools and About adjustment and fill layers.
1. In the Quick mode, do any of the following:
Click the Red Eye Removal button to remove red eye from a photo. This tool removes red eye in flash photos of people.
Drag the tool in the image around an eye you want to fix, or click the Auto button in the options bar. See Precisely remove
red eye.
Click the Whiten Teeth button to apply a whiten teeth in an image. Drag in the image area with the teeth that you want to
brighten.
2. (Optional) If you carried out Whiten Teeth adjustment, you can do any of the following:
Add the adjustment to more parts of the photo, by clicking the Add To Selection button, and dragging in the image.
Remove the adjustment from parts of the photo, by clicking the Subtract From Selection button, and dragging in the image.
Quick mode options
Zoom tool Sets the magnification of the preview image. Controls and options work like the Zoom tool in the toolbox. (See
Hand tool Moves the image around in the preview window if the entire image is not visible. Press the spacebar to access the Hand tool when
another tool is selected.
Quick Selection tool Selects portions of the image based on where you click or drag the tool. (See Use the Quick Selection tool.)
Crop tool Removes part of an image. Drag the tool within the preview image to select the portion you want to keep, and then press Enter. (See
Crop an image.)
Correcting color in Expert mode
If you've worked with images before, you'll find that Photoshop Elements provides the most flexible and powerful image-correction environment. It
has lighting and color-correction commands, along with tools for fixing image defects, making selections, adding text, and painting on your
images. When working with some of the adjustment commands, you can make adjustments directly on the image pixels. Or you can use
adjustment layers to make nondestructive adjustments that you can easily tweak until your image is right. The Smart Brush tool and Detail Smart
Brush tool automatically create an adjustment layer as you apply a correction. See Apply the Smart Brush tools or About adjustment and fill layers.
