Steps
1Click the wand to set the tone sliders
In the Tone section, click the small wand just above Exposure. PhotoDirector reads the photo and fills in the values.
2Check and adjust the new values
Every slider stays editable, so change any value you disagree with. To see what changed, use Before and After above the canvas to split the view. To start over, click the reset arrow at the top right of the section.
3Export the photo
When the tone looks right, click Export to save the photo.
We tested these steps in PhotoDirector 365 version 18.0.10 on Windows.
