Irfanview Auto Adjust Colors, LOL

[Celebration]

The whole reason I took up photography was so that I would have something to do while my husband fishes at the Tennessee River. Other than birds and water and sky, well, that's about it. So, sometimes it's sky, particularly since I have paid even more attention to the sky since the storm contest. I still don't have Photoshop or anything, so I tried Irfanview auto adjust colors. Yes they have another not automatic one but it is a bit annoying because the edited picture you see is so tiny. Imagine my surprise when I found how the color was adjusted.

After: (also I cropped a bit)



Some of the other sky pictures turned out a bit more normal

The sunsets? Nothing happened, the pictures didn't change a bit! But there was a pretty sunset, so I'm throwing it in the mix

1. Sometimes the computer does not know best.

2. I use Irfanview, too, because I can't afford PhotoShop at home.

And, yeah, the auto-adjust doesn't work well for every shot. But for free, it ain't too bad.

:hi:

3. There's always Gimp. or Gimp Shop

Many say they're comparable to Photoshop. Like Irfanview, they're free.

4. I love your reason for geting into photography...LOL. That's me!

The whole reason I took up photography was so that I would have something to do while my husband and son skate.

I have to say its worked out pretty well for me. :)
