Many times our favorite memories occur in not so great picture taking locations. For example, when the birthday boy is blowing out candles on the cake, the room is usually dark, or in my case, when a friend or family member is graduating from college, your seat in the auditorium is usually far away from the stage. Last June, I was able to take some pretty close-up shots of the graduates walking across the stage using the extra lens that I purchased for my Kodak P880, but the pictures were really dark due to the lack of lighting.

There are a couple of ways to fix common pictures problems, such as poor lighting, in KODAK EASYSHARE software v7.0. The first way is to open the image in the editor workflow and use the scene balance tools to manually adjust exposure, shadows, and highlights.



Personally, I find this manual adjustment too time consuming mainly because I do not really know what is wrong with the image. Typically, I randomly slide the bars using a guess and check method until the picture is in a better state than when it started.

Whether you're an amateur photographer, like myself, or just a time-starved professional, KODAK EASYSHARE Software v7.0 has an automated enhance button that allows you to easily fix the lighting in your picture with just one click. The enhance button uses KODAK PERFECT TOUCH Technology to not only reduce dark shadows but also richens detail and brings out vibrant colors creating an even better picture than you could have made by just using the manual scene balance.

Think that's impressive? Well here is the best part. We've added this enhance feature as a right-click option in the My Collection tab so that you can select multiple pictures and enhance them in a single batch rather than opening each image individually in the editor.
Simply highlight the pictures, right-click, and select enhance.
 


You can select as many pictures as you want, but just keep in mind the more you select the longer it will take for KODAK PERFECT TOUCH Technology to work its magic. We have created a progress bar to keep you updated on the status of the batch enhance.



Before you know it, all of your selected images will be enhanced in your collection!
