VARIATION CORRECTIONS
The variation dialog box allows an image to be corrected by comparing it to other slightly corrected
images surrounding it. This is an easy method to correct images for individuals who are inexperi-
enced in image processing or photofinishing. All changes are reflected in the prescan image.
