In the [Favorite Folders] tab sheet, select the folder you want to delete and then click the [Remove] button.

If the brightness or color of images is different from what you visualized when you shot the photo, you can adjust an image using the editing functions to bring them closer to what you visualized.

This section explains about automatic adjustment of images, adjustment of brightness, saturation and contrast, trimming images, inserting text into images, adjustment of sharpness, red-eye correction, and cutting movies.

JPEG images deteriorate slightly when edited and saved, and the image before editing cannot be recovered. For this reason, an edited JPEG image should be saved as a separate image from the original image.

Chapter 3 explains about high-level editing functions other than those described above.

You can edit RAW images in Digital Photo Professional (hereinafter , “DPP”).
