Windows Photo Gallery has a number of different tools which enables you to make pictures look different, and in some cases look better than the original. These features are free with Windows Vista and are there so users can edit their photographs.

To adjust the colours in a picture:

1. Find the image you want to edit, right click and select Open With, then click on Windows Photo Gallery.
2. You can click Auto Adjust to make the picture seem more realistic using the Photo Gallery’s workings.

• Colour temperature - makes the picture look warmer (more red) or cooler (more blue).
• Saturation - increases or decreases the amount of colour in your picture.
• Tint - removes the green from the image to give it a tinted look.
