Adobe® Photoshop® Elements 3.0: A New
Version!
Part 3
Auto Smart Fix
Auto Smart Fix is smart. It's one of the best
auto correction tools I've seen, outshining the Auto Levels and
Auto Color tools from the previous version. You can reach it from
the Quick Fix workspace or in the Edit workspace from the Enhance
menu. Sometimes one click is all it takes! The color in the photo
on the right below is accurate as far as my brain can recall that
long ago (yes, that is me at age 4!) If you get a result
that is close but still needs editing, try Enhance
> Adjust Smart Fix for even more control. If you want
to control the amount of Smart Fix you can even start with Adjust
Smart Fix and move the slider to control how much correction is
applied. If you prefer you can even apply the effect with Adjust
Smart Fix and preview in real time how the correction will look.
 
This is an extreme example, and the results are nothing
you would want to frame, but just to show you the power of this
tool, here is a shot of my son's vintage snowmobile before and
after Auto Smart Fix:
 
Reduce Noise
Another new feature is the Reduce Noise filter. This
filter reduces the noise that you see in digital photos, particularly
those in low lighting conditions. After using Auto Smart Fix on
the snowmobile, I used the Reduce Noise Filter. It is found at
Filter > Noise > Reduce Noise. Set the amount
of noise to remove, the amount of detail to retain, and the strength
of the correction. You have lots of control and can preview your
results in real time.
