But, Fix the Color Before You Send It.
Dave B., a friend of mine, was in Washington DC this summer and took a stunning photo of lightning striking a building near the US Capital with his iPhone camera. It is a great photo and an example of being at the right place at the right time. And, it is a picture worth sharing with friends. When it appeared in my email inbox I couldn’t resist seeing what OneClick Color technology would do to improve it. Here is the before and after comparison using OneClick to remove the magenta color cast increasing the brightness in the shadows.

If Dave had iCorrect OneClick iPhone App on his iPhone he could have fixed the color before he sent the picture to his friends. And, it would have only taken a few extra seconds.

Freshair Software developed iCorrect OneClick iPhone App using PictoColor’s OneClick Color Technology. For more information go to http://www.freshairsoftware.com/iPhoneApplications/iCorrect/index.html

Creating a Sepia tone photo with OneClick
iCorrect OneClick technology is also available in iCorrect OneClick Plug-in for Photoshop and Elements and in CorrectPhoto Editor. One of the features of OneClick is the ability to create stunning Black and White and Sepia tone photos with one click of the mouse. Here is a sepia rendition of the lightning photo.  The first thought that popped into my mind when I saw the photo was that maybe God was sending a message to Washington. But, what was he saying?  I added the title using ImageTitler.

Most Photos can be improved with OneClick.
The point of this post is to reiterate the fact that most photos can and should be improved before sending them to your friends or uploading to Facebook. And, it is easy to do if you have an iPhone with iCorrect OneClick App or Photoshop Elements with iCorrect OneClick plug-in or CorrectPhoto with OneClick technology. I often go one step further and add a title or caption to the photo.

The better way to zoom with your iPhone camera.

Shoot'n'Zoom iPhone App from Freshair Software

Don’t miss another great shot fumbling with sliders and other controls. When you are limited to a digital zoom (as you always are with the iPhone camera), photographic experts recommend zooming after you take the photo. The lens will capture the same level of detail, and you’ll have more options at your fingertips. Quickly capture your best shot and then zoom to perfect it.

Crop'n'Frame is a great way to enhance iPhone Photos

Outdoor Photographer magazine says, “Crop’n'Frame is like a tiny framer living in your iPhone.”

Unlike other framing apps, with Crop’n'Frame you design the frame and mat, and it’s fun and easy to do. Choose shapes, styles and widths, and pick colors from a palette that is customized for every photo. You can even view your photo in the frame while you decide how to crop it.

Crop'n'Frame is a great way to enhance iPhone photos

A great way to enhance your photos before uploading them to your favorite website or e-mailing them to your family and friends. Or take it along to the frame shop and use it to visualize how your artwork will look with different sizes and colors of frames and mats. Here is the link to more information on Crop’n’Frame iPhone App.

Kathryn’s New Facebook Profile Photo was Dull and Lifeless
My granddaughter, Kathryn, uploaded a new Facebook profile photo the other day. It was a really good picture of her, but it didn’t do justice to her vibrance and beauty. So, I can’t resist giving her a bit of grandfatherly about the photos she posts. Fix the color before you upload the photo. Actually, she knows better. She has been around me long enough and has seen the wonders of our OneClick color technology to know how easy it is to make the color right. But, for some reason, she took the same shortcut most of us do in uploading photos or sending them to friends. We don’t take the time to make them look good even though it only takes a few seconds to do so.

iCorrect OneClick Color Technology Make the Color Right with one Click

CorrectPhoto with OneClick Color.
The CorrectPhoto screen shot below shows the before and after color of Kathryn’s profile photo.  To fix the color all that was necessary was to position the cursor over a white area in the photo and click. I chose the little white area of the blouse under the jacket because I was sure it was white. That was all that was necessary.  The longest part of the process was the time it took to open CorrectPhoto and select the photo to be corrected.

Photoshop Elements with iCorrect OneClick Plug-in.
If you have Photoshop or Elements you can get the OneClick technology as a plug-in and achieve the same fast result.

Be Proud of your Photos
Why not take a few moments to fix the color and be proud of the photos you share with others. You will be glad you did. Let’s hope Kathryn will listen to her Opah (that’s me) and Make the Color Right before posting on Facebook. I will be watching.

Here is another post on uploading Facebook photos you can be proud of. http://www.correctmyphotos.com/2010/05/05/are-you-proud-of-your-facebook-photos/
