Tips and Tricks
Results are always better when you downsize the photos - start with a bigger image!
If you are preparing your picture for printing make it look over-sharpened on the screen - then it will look great on paper. Also for most printing services, it makes sense to bump the colors up - printed pictures usually have subdued colors comparing to the pictures on the computer screen.
Photo Cleaner can be used both with and without being connected to the internet. If you are connected to the internet, Photo Cleaner checks for new versions and critical updates. Absolutely no private information is sent to the server. You can control this behavior through the "Check for New Versions" item in the Help menu.
If a photo was shot under unusual lighting conditions (for instance, sunset or sunrise pictures) Photo Cleaner might make a mistake when doing an automatic color correction. If you don't like the color correction results you can always turn the color correction off for the image in question.
PhotoCleaner supports multiple sets of enhancement settings. You can save and load the settings (see File menu). It allows having separate settings, for instance, for pictures that are prepared for printing and to be placed on a website.
You can use special characters in the Caption textbox -- PhotoCleaner will substitute them. In the current version, {F} or {f} is substituted with the file name (without the extension), {C} or {c} is substituted with the copyright symbol, and {D} or {d} is substituted with the picture date and time.
If you are creating PhotoAlbum, it is better to save it in an empty folder. Then, if you would want to place PhotoAlbum on a website or a CD - just copy the entire folder. This will ensure that you have copied all necessary files.
Use table-style PhotoAlbums on website for quick access through slow internet connections and filmstrip-style PhotoAlbums for viewing from a CD or a computer disk: filmstrip PhotoAlbums take longer time to load initially.
Please keep in mind that each time you save a picture in JPEG format, its quality degrades slightly. It could become a problem if a picture goes through several cycles of editing, each time being saved as JPEG. If you plan to save a picture more than a couple of times, use a lossless image format like TIFF.
Frequently Asked Questions - PhotoCleaner Professional
- What image formats does PhotoCleaner support?
PhotoCleaner can work with images in JPEG, TIFF, PNG, or BMP formats. You may be able to use PhotoCleaner with other formats, but these extra formats have not been well-tested and are not officially supported.
- I have a picture in TIFF format and PhotoCleaner cannot open it. Why does it happen?
There are several types of TIFF pictures - they differ by the type of compression they use. Uncompressed TIFF is the most popular and universal format as of today - at least all consumer digital cameras use it for saving TIFF images. Other types, like ZIP- or LZW-compressed could be created by some image-editing software programs.
