How can I improve my photos after I've taken them?

Do you find that when you look at your photos on your computer, you wish you could change and improve them? The ImageBrowser EX software that comes with your Canon camera is easy to use and lets you make a surprising difference. Download the latest version of ImageBrowser EX.

Crop your image
One of the best pieces of advice when you're taking a photo is to get in close; it helps to tell the story of your picture. The good news is that it is easy to achieve a similar effect using the cropping feature of ImageBrowser EX. Select the picture, click on the "Edit" button at the top of the screen and select "Crop Image".


Improve the colour and brightness automatically
Auto Correct is a really useful feature that corrects the Colour and Brightness of your photo. Select the picture, click on the "Edit" button at the top of the screen and select "Auto Correct". You can preview the result before accepting it.


Improve the colour and brightness yourself
The Auto Correct feature is a good start but you can also adjust the colour and brightness of your photos yourself. Select the picture, choose the "Edit" button at the top of the screen and select "Adjust Color and Brightness". You can try out each parameter to see how it will affect your photo before saving it.

Increase sharpness
Increasing the sharpness of your image can improve textures in your photo and make them appear clearer. The best way to see what difference it can make is to try out the feature. Select your picture, click on the "Edit" button at the top of the screen and select "Increase Sharpness".


Look at the EXIF data
When you take a photo, your camera also records a lot of information about its settings, including exposure, the focussing and white balance. Called EXIF data, it gives valuable insight about your photo and why it looks how it does.
