Does anyone know of a Photoshop CS equivalent? I find the "Enhance photo" command so useful, but it’s the only reason why I use PDP. Now, if there were an action in Photoshop that would do the same…

Anybody able to point me in the right direction please?

For those of us Photoshop users who have never used PSP, what does "Enhance Photo" do? Is it a one-click and you’re done thing or what?

It runs 6 automated enhancements in sequence, I believe, from a single click;

Colour Enhancement
Contrast Enhancement
Clarify
Saturation Enhancement
Edge Preserving Somooth, &
Sharpen

It does a really nice job most of the time, too.

I find the results of even just the automoatic colour balance much better than PS’s.

If you were going to run a batch processing to clean up some images, you could do worse.

Ah, partially like Variations in Photoshop. I don’t use auto anything, but sometimes use variation so see if I have anything to work with when I get sent those lovey black digital photos. I think Variations only handles saturation, highlights, midtones, shadows. There’s probably a plugin for PS that does similar to what you’re talking about, but I’m not familiar with any. Automation just makes me too darn nervous;)

I doubt that. Every image is different. If you want a pile of average images, which the programmer who wrote the code thinks you should have, as an end result, then it’s probably fine. Then again, there’s not a lot of point in taking the image in the first place then.

Remember Auto anything means someone else is deciding waht they think should be the end result for an individual image.

And sometimes that is good enough *AND* time is saved.

This experience falls outside of the hundreds of thousands of images that have passed through my machines. It also falls outside of my experience with that feature.

However, if you like it, buy and use Jasc’s product. It’s cheap enough – around what most auto-enhance plugins for Photoshop run by themselves.

Just pray Corel doesn’t have the same "success" with it as they have the other products they bought.

I already have it. Super! But CS takes a lot of memory, and to have PSP on as well is asking a lot, even of 1Gb RAM!

Photoshop grabs a *percentage* of RAM, which you can specify.

Load it last, and it will grab a percentage of whatever RAM is left after you’ve loaded your other apps.
