Minor tweaks to more closely match reality!
Adjusting the colour, brightness, saturation, contrast and sharpness

Sometimes a camera will record a darker picture then the one you actually saw.

In this case a quick adjustment using the automatic image correction features of the photo editing software is all that was required to match the recorded picture with the memory in my mind.

This picture was taken on the eastern shore of Lake Huron just north of Bruce Nuclear during my Round Lake Huron tour.

Dark, overcast days can sometimes result in darker, drearier images then what you can vividly recall.

In this case enhancing the colours, saturation and brightness did wonders to match the image with the memory.

This picture was taken during my Round Lake Huron tour during my approach to Manitoulin Island between Espanola and Birch Island.

This is a case where my camera settings were accidentally set to provide a way too overexposed picture.

Manual changes to saturation, brightness, contrast and colouration soon restored to me a beautiful memory of my visit to Tawas Point Lighthouse in Michigan.

This is another picture taken by Jim Oliver in his Eastern Canada journal.

Although cropping has been performed to zoom in on the wooden statue that is not the reason for this picture's inclusion here.

Notice the overwhelming presence of blue in the original picture on the left. The blue is so pervasive that you lose sight of the vibrant grass and flowers in the background. It also makes the details of the statue much harder to see.

In this case using automatic image correction software options was not enough. Manual colour changes to reduce the amount of blueness in the image was required to bring out the statue more fully.
