Results are different before and after you save an Auto Corrected image in Picture Manager 2003 (827758)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Office Picture Manager 2003

SYMPTOMS

In Microsoft Office Picture Manager 2003, after you use the Auto Correct feature to correct an image, when you save the image it appears a little darker than it did before you saved the auto corrected file.

CAUSE

This issue may occur when auto correction is performed on an image when the zoom is set to Fit. In this case, auto correction is applied to the scaled image instead of the full-sized image, resulting in a small color differentiation. Also, when you save the auto corrected file, the image is compressed. File compression can change the noise level of the histogram, making the compressed image file different from the unsaved file.

WORKAROUND

To work around this issue, zoom the image to 100% before you use the Auto Correct feature. However, there still might be a small color variation because of the file compression during the save operation.
