Make It Better

If you have ever been to the eye doctor you already know how to use Make It Better. Simply
compare color, contrast and brightness adjustments side-by-side and pick the best looking images
to adjust your image. This module combines the power several image adjustment dialogs that you
would normally expect to find in image editors that cost hundreds of dollars into a single interface.
This allows all users to make complex image adjustments without the need to understand the
complex image controls or color theory. Rather than cryptic sliders like thresholds and radius the
user simply answers a series of visual questions to pick the best settings. Advanced users still have
access to fine-tune controls for color cast removal, brightness, contrast, dynamic range and
saturation. You can even create presets that you can use over and over again.

Make It Better Color Correction Made Easy If you've ever been disappointed with the
results from one of the "Auto" correct features before, this simple six step process is the solution for you.

Blur It

Essentials for iPhoto features the Blur It tool provides enthusiast photographers with a way to
create realistic depth of field control, plane of focus controal and selective focus to any digital
image after it is photographed allowing for more control and precision.

The controls in Blur It have a tangible feel very similar to using a lens. You can quickly define the
sweet spot either in a round shape or in a plane then control how much and what kind of blur you
want to add. This is a great technique to use to help you give your images some depth - or visual
separation between a foreground subject and the background.

image stand out better. It is also a fun tool to use to add some creativity to your images.
