Clarify option

[lionel]

I switched from PSP 8 to Photo Pro X3 a year or so back and have found the switch great except for two small issues.
1. X3 is a lot slower in carrying out a lot of tasks. Guess when I upgrade my computer soon this will be less of an issue.
2. I often use the Adjust - Brightness & Contrast - Clarify option, especially if a photograph is suffering from just a little bit of glare. Very effective very often. Clarify seems to have disappeared somewhere between version 8 and X3 and I have not managed to duplicate the effect in X3. Any suggestions? (apart from please put it back in the next version Corel)
Till I sort this one out I won't remove PSP 8, I keep using it too often for just this one function.

Technically Clarify is now "Local Tone Mapping" but they do function slightly differently. Most of the time you won't notice a difference but if you apply it enough times it will be different.

However, the Clarify command in scripting still functions like the old clarify method. Again it won't be a problem if you don't over apply the effect but if you do and you don't like how "Local Tone Mapping" does it then you will need to switch to using the Scripting option.

Thanks LeviFiction. Champion! Seems to magic away that slight glare pretty well. I never get too carried away with overdoing things on photographs. I reckon if someone who knows imaging processing can see what I have done then I have probably done too much. At this stage I have a mate in bird photography saying "Your lens is better than mine". I doubt it - I will have to show him a trick or two.
