You asked for it, you got it. KODAK EASYSHARE Software v7.1
Part 3 of 4: New Editing Features
Do you like to be creative with your pictures? Ever wish you could remove wrinkles, touch up circles under your eyes, have whiter teeth and smooth out blemishes? Are you looking for simple tools that turn good pictures, into great pictures? KODAK EASYSHARE Software v7.1 is just for you! We've always had a variety of one click tools for removing red-eye and automatically enhancing lighting and color. Now we've added two new features to our editing toolkit.
The first tool is Facial Retouch. Once in the editor, simply click the icon at the top of the screen and the retouch level will automatically move to medium. If it didn't quite remove all the imperfections or if it made you look just too perfect, simply move the slider left or right to adjust the retouch level.
Can you see the difference? In the first image, there is no retouching. In the second image, the slider has been moved all the way to a high retouch level. I thought that was a bit much, so I moved the slider just a bit left, clicked accept, then clicked save to replace the original image (if you wanted to make a new copy so that it didn't permanently save over the original, just click save as).
Here's a before and after, side-by-side comparison.
The other extremely useful, new editing tool is the add text feature. This workflow is very easy. Just type out what you want in the text box. To change the formatting, click the little "T" button next to the box. A formatting box will popup to allow you to change the font, size, justification, and color of the text.
Once I typed the text, I clicked accept and then "save as." Since I didn't want this change to permanently overwrite my original image, the save as option allowed me to make a copy of the picture.
The facial retouch feature is especially useful when it comes time to make those holiday cards with the family picture. Just a glide of the slider makes everyone in the family look fabulous! Another tip: add text to your pictures before you upload them to the KODAK Gallery. This software-exclusive feature will add another dimension of creativity to your t-shirts, totes, and mugs!

Comment: Does anyone know if Kodak makes a camera that will work as a Mass Storage Class device? I want to be able to view my camera as a drive letter in windows XP. Thanks
