Portrait and landscape mixed photo mode

 combines the best features 

of Portrait and Landscape modes. While the enhancement level is not as fine 
as using either Portrait or Landscape modes alone, it is useful for blending 
both properties within a photo. The available tools are: 

Vivid

Skin Clear

,

 

Colorful

Color Cast Removal

, and 

Enhance Tone

 

 

For details of each tool, see the previous Portrait and Landscape photo 

mode descriptions. 

  

Restoring enhanced photos

 

If you don’t feel comfortable with the changes you’ve made while working 
on a photo in the 

Photo Enhancement

 dialog box, click the 

Reset

 button 

to restore the photo to its original state. 

    

Hi-res generator 

This tool lets you turn low-resolution images into high-resolution ones. 
Higher resolution images are best if you want to print your image on high-

quality photo paper.
