• PhotoLab for non-destructive adjustment and effect filters (p. 173)
The powerful PhotoLab studio packs a punch with an impressive
selection of editable adjustments, creative, and artistic effects (pencil,
water colour, oil, and more). Use integrated Red-eye and Spot-repair
tools for easy retouching. Apply filters to selected areas of your photo
by using brush-based masking. Apply adjustment/effect
combinations or save your own as favourites for future use.
