Hi Tatjana!
Yes, I realize this. That was just an example of what hue corrections
can create. It can, for instance, take an overly tanned / dark pic and
bring them back to a less brown condition by upping blue. Or as in
some pic sets seen recently, where all the pics are red in tint, a
simple increase in green will bring back normal flesh tones. Hue,
tint, and saturation are also easily adjusted.
If you get a chance, check out Irfanview. Like I said, it's free, and
allows batch processing. The jpg quality is also easily adjustable. I
stepped on that one pretty seriously because I wanted it to post in 1
part, so Agent wouldn't screw it up.
If you do try irfanview, remember to add the plugin pack, which
enables many more adjustments. It's open source and a lot of people
have added features.
