But the PhotoDeluxe add-ons include special effects such as image repair, which automatically removes scratches from scanned photos and red-eye from flash pictures. PhotoDeluxe Home Edition, which retails for $99, includes EasyPhoto, a basic image editor. For example, the Image Expert packed with my Epson PhotoPC 600 digital camera includes distorting effects like "fish-eye" and "glass block," and a color inverting feature to create digital "negatives." Use these sparingly, unless you want to induce seasickness or faux acid flashbacks. Many image editors bundled with hardware include a set of elementary special effects. Some packages, such as Sierra Imaging's Image Expert, have a single mouse-click "auto fix" feature that corrects common problems, as well as interactive tools for all three common adjustments. If you're taking pictures with a small flash or in a marginally lighted room, these features will save many images from the digital trash can.
Next on the list are adjustments to contrast, brightness and color balance. Most image editing tools let you select a part of the photo and remove everything outside it with one or two easy steps. The first is cropping - trimming the image to focus on a specific part of the photo and get rid the extraneous stuff that finds its way into your pictures.
