Whether you are photographing houses for sale, displaying the newest 
model car, or just storing your favorite photographs as PaperPort items, 
you can edit these color or grayscale pictures using PaperPort’s image-
editing tools. The Image Editing toolbar contains all of the tools for 
adjusting color as well as grayscale images.

AUTOMATICALLY

AutoFix Picture analyzes a picture and tries to improve that picture. 
PaperPort’s sophisticated internal system can automatically adjust the 
color, brightness, and contrast to produce a good picture. AutoFix 
Picture works well to improve poor-quality pictures. 

Note: 

The Image Editing tools work only with PaperPort items. 

A quick way to convert an image to a PaperPort item is to right-click 
the image, and then choose Duplicate as PaperPort item.

Tip: 

To manually adjust the brightness, contrast, color, or tint of a 

picture, use the Adjust Picture command or the Picture wizard. For 
more information, see the next section, “Adjusting a picture 
yourself ”.
