Optimizing Pictures with Quick Fix

The easiest way to optimize your picture is to use HotShot’s
Quick Fix command to automatically adjust it. Quick Fix
gives you cleaner, brighter images while maintaining the
highlight and shadow detail. However, if your original image
has intense highlights or shadows, it’s better to adjust it using
Fix By Example, as described on page 7-8.

Follow these steps to use Quick Fix:

1

Open the picture you want to edit. See page 6-2 for
instructions.

2

Click the

Enhance

button on the remote control to

open the Enhance menu.

3

Click

Quick Fix

. The picture in the window changes to

reflect your changes. (You can zoom into the image to
see the changes more clearly; click

Zoom In

from the

Image menu.)

(If you change your mind about the edit, select

Undo

from the Edit menu.)

4

To save your edited picture, see page 6-3 for
instructions. Be sure to give your picture a new name, if
you want to save the original picture as it was.

Optimizing Pictures with SmartPix

HotShot’s SmartPix feature lets you optimize your image
quality based on these characteristics:

the device you used to capture the image (Internet,
camera, scanner, or other device)

whether the photo was taken inside or outside

the lighting conditions under which the photo was taken

Smart Pix uses device profiles built into the HotShots
program to determine the level and type of corrections to
make to your image. To experiment with corrections, you
can use SmartPix multiple times to “layer” the effects, if you
like.
