Re: Canon WP-DC800 waterproof case for PowerShot 400 camera

Hi,
Your comments do the photos turn out blurry... yes and no.
I Kayak and have often placed my S45 under the water. What I got back
was not what I would expect to see if I was wearing goggles. But alas!
I use a program to reduce my photos for my web page and only 2 years
later discover that some digital underwater shots need a very simple
one stop edit to make it appear as you would expect. Have a look two
shots one original and one adjusted.

Go to the Gallery and page down to the bottom for a title called odd
shots.

It looks like he just used auto levels in Photoshop

The auto color in 7.0 makes a remarkable improvement on shots with the S400.
Check my page for belize pics, in particular the snorkel shots of a ray.

Auto levels isn't nearly as good for some shots, nearly identical on others.
But in general not good enough to use it over manually setting the levels.
Auto color, otoh, was useful enough to do and then fade out slightly.
