8.1. One-Click Fixes

These are the original iPhoto editing tools, the ones that were present in the previous version and are nearly idiot-proof:

• Enhance . With one click, this tool endeavors to make photos look more vibrant by tweaking the brightness and contrast settings and adjusting the saturation to compensate for washed-out or oversaturated colors.

• Cropping . The cropping tool lets you cut away the outer portions of a photo to improve its composition or to make it the right size for a printout or Web page.

• Retouch . This little brush lets you paint out minor imperfections like blemishes, freckles, and scratches.

• Red-Eye . This little filter gets rid of a very common photo glitchthose shining red dots that sometimes appear in a person's eyes as the result of flash photography. Who wants to look like a werewolf if it's not necessary?

• Black & White . Turns your color photos into moody black-and-white art shots.

• Sepia . Makes new photos look faded and brownish, for that old-time daguerreotype look.
