If the default settings are acceptable,
click Open to work with the processed image in Photoshop Elements. To tweak the
settings, continue with the steps in this procedure.
2. To adjust the white balance, select the White Balance tool, and click an area that
should be pure white, neutral gray, or pure black. Alternatively, drag the Temperature
slider to the right to increase the color temperature of the light or to the left to decrease
the color temperature of the light. The color temperature value is measured in degrees
Kelvin. Drag the Tint slider to fine-tune the color balance. Drag the slider to the left to
add a green tint to the image; drag to the right to add a magenta tint.
3. Drag the Exposure slider to the right to increase exposure; drag to the left to decrease
exposure. As you drag the slider, hold down the ALT key (Windows) or the OPTION key
(Macintosh) to display a black overlay on the image. If you see a color appear when
you drag the slider, you are blowing out highlights in that color channel. If you see
solid white, you are blowing out all details to white. As you drag the Exposure slider,
the histogram changes.
4. Drag the Shadows slider to the right to darken shadow areas; drag to the left to
lighten them.
