These specks usually result from sources such as the limitationsof the sensor in your digital camera or poor lighting conditions. For example, when youzoom in on a photo of a clear blue sky, you may see tiny specks of orange, red, purple,green, or other colors.The image on the left looks grainy because of image noise. The image on theright appears smoother and less grainy after the image noise has been removed.Corel Paint Shop Pro gives you two fast, powerful commands for removing noise fromyour photos. When you use the One Step Noise Removal command or the DigitalCamera Noise Removal command, the program analyzes your photo, identifies thenoise artifacts, and applies corrections based on these identified areas.You can automatically apply noise correction to your photo with the One Step NoiseRemoval command. You can also control more precisely how these same corrections areapplied by using the more comprehensive Digital Camera Noise Removal command.For more information about using the Digital Camera Noise Removal command, see“Removing digital photo noise” in the Help.To remove digital photo noise quickly• Choose Adjust One Step Noise Removal.After a brief pause, a predetermined set of corrections are automatically applied toyour photo.Adjusting images 45
Resizing imagesAfter you adjust your image, you can resize it in Corel Paint Shop Pro. It’s important tounderstand how resizing affects image pixels.Pixels have no set physical size. Each pixel represents one area of a single color. Whenan image is resized, the number of pixels in the image may be reduced or increased,which causes the image to be resampled. Resampling changes the file size.Print resolution is the number of pixels per inch. More pixels per inch (ppi) createsmaller printed pixels and a smaller printed image. Fewer pixels per inch create largerprinted pixels and a larger printed image. Resizing can change the resolution of theimage while preserving both the number of pixels in the image and the file size.Here are some recommendations to help you resize your images:• Increasing image size by more than 25% causes a loss of detail and sharpness.• Resize an image only once — if you resize incorrectly, undo it and try again.• Correct and retouch images before resizing.To resize an image1 Choose Image Resize.2 In the Resize dialog box, mark the Resample using check box, and select aresampling type from the drop-list.To resize the current layer only, unmark the Resize all layers check box.3 In the Pixel Dimensions group box, type or set new values in the Width andHeight controls. From the drop-list, choose whether to enter values in pixels or as apercentage of the original size.4 Click OK.It is recommended that you constrain the new image dimensions to the image’scurrent proportions by marking the Lock aspect ratio check box. Changingthe aspect ratio distorts the image by stretching or contracting it in onedimension more than the other.You can keep the image’s current print size by marking the Maintain originalprint size check box.46 Corel Paint Shop Pro X User Guide
