4. adjust colors

Most of the time, the colors in your photos are spot on. Still, sometimes even the smartest camera gets fooled. Maybe the white balance is set for outdoors and you’re inside, perhaps a flash has turned a scene cold, or nearby objects have reflected odd colors onto faces. Scanned photos or faded family shots may need some correction or rejuvenation. Before using the Standard Edit mode’s color tools covered here, first try the Auto button in the Quick Fix Color palette, as explained on page 31. If you haven’t already checked your monitor’s settings and calibration, see page 9 before digging into this chapter.
