Use the Picture Options page to remove Red Eye from your picture, and to adjust saturation and contrast in the picture.
Autolevel improves brightness and contrast in most photos, and can be used to bring out the color in underexposed pictures.
By default Autolevel is enabled.
Autolevel does not make new adjustments each time a picture is loaded.
Occasionally Autolevel does not improve the appearance of a picture, and may need to be switched off.
Use Red Eye Removal
to reverse the red eye effect caused when flash is reflected back by the retina of the eye.
Red Eye Removal can also be used to remove other intrusive reds, such as red lights.
Use Select Eye
to select Red Eye removal.

The following file formats may be saved: Windows or OS2 Bitmap (.bmp), JPEG Low Quality (.jpg), JPEG High Quality (.jpg), Tagged Image File Format uncompressed (.tif) and Portable Network Graphics (.png).
