Hour 22. Photo Repair—Color

What You'll Learn in This Hour:

Last hour, we worked on some black-and-white pictures that needed help. This hour, we'll do the same with color pictures. You can adjust the colors to fix a picture that's faded with age or has too much red, green, or some other color in it. You can compensate for slight-to-moderate underexposure or overexposure, but you can't put back an image that's just not there, unless you paint it in.

You can take the red out of your daughter's eyes or the unearthly green out of the cat's eyes. Does your teenager wonder how she would look with orange or green hair or a half-shaved head? Try it on the screen first. Maybe she'll settle for a second set of earrings.
