When I used to use PS 5 they had a feature under "Image" called
"Auto Correct". I used to use that as a start for working with old
and washed out pictures. Being new to Gimp I haven't found this
feature yet. Is this option an open one or do I just have to wish
for it?
There are a couple of automatic color correction functions in
Image->Colors->Auto that you might find useful. I'd suggest to use the
Levels tool however. It has a button that does Automatic color
correction but also allows to do some manual fine-tuning.
i started working with the levels dialog right after i read or heard
that the levels needed to go from end to end in that dialog.
it is quite impressive what you can do with the levels dialog.
gimp-1.3 has these nifty colorpickers that help to adjust for what you
think should be black and what you think should be white. so far, i
have not been able to determine what is a good gray (the center
dropper).
anyways, i highly suggest playing with this dialog on any photo. seeing
it will be better than reading about it.
