![]() ![]() The other sliders, Ill leave them to you to experiment with to your hearts content. Especially so on jpeg images for some weird reason. The oddly named "colour distortion" slider, actually works only on the dark, shadowed areas of your image, where you can get those funny, odd looking green or purple blotchy artifacts.

As well as contrast, and I "think" default sharpness settings. The colour doesn't just tweak colours, it also affects exposure, in both the shadowed & highlight areas. On the right hand side of the screen/editing window. That's a picture profile/style in other program languages. Before you do ANY editing on your opened image, you NEED to choose a colour, in SP speak.
