Photo Filter

Elements Photo Filter feature gives you a host of nifty filters to work with. These filters are the digital equivalent of the lens-mounted filters used in traditional film photography. They can help you correct problems with your image’s white balance, and perform a bunch of other fixes from the seriously photographic to the downright silly. For example, you can correct bad skin tone or dig out an old photo of your fifth-grade nemesis and make him green. Figure 8-13 shows the Photo Filter in action.

You can use the Photo Filter to correct the color casts caused by artificial lighting or reflected light.Left: This photo had a strong warm cast from nearby incandescent lighting.Right: The filter named “Cooling Filter (LBB)” took care of it. (Conversely, you’d use one of the warming filters to counteract a blue cast caused by fluorescent lighting.)
