This is due to the individual adjustments of your PC's monitor and video card. When any adjustments or modification to a picture is made, we suggest you save the modified picture by another name. This way, the original picture is preserved for possible use in the future. When performing any modification to a photo, the amount you can adjust, and still maintain good quality, is limited. For example, if you have a very dark photo, it's not possible to lighten extremely and maintain very good quality. 58 Retouch Start and exit the retouch function Start and exit the retouch function Start Exit 1 Select the picture to be retouched from the picture browser. 1 Select [File] [Exit] on the menu bar for the retouch function. 2 Click [ ] on the toolbar.
