Default Elements and Shapening

I just completed three images - ALL AUTOMATIC processed in ELEMENTS #2 and have 2 with slight colourl cast and one without.

All images were from the same ORIGINAL image. I made a 300 dpi work file at 12 X 8 on TIF.

Next I went to ENHANCE - ADJU;ST BRIGHTNESS/CONTRAST - LEVELS - clicked AUTO and OK

Next I went to FILTER - SHARPEN
For #1 I used SHARPEN EDGE
#2 i used USM at 100%, 4, 7
#3 I usd SHARPEN

I find it interesting that 2 of 3 have that s slight cast and the other one is clear. Other than SHARPEN, which may be main setting, are the other settings digitally enhanced?

I clicked on the wrong image for #3 in the first thread. Here is the correct #3 and it shows the difference in tones.

My choice is #1 as it does have the least amount of glare on the shiny side of the white bag.

Auto adjustments dont alwas prove effective. try some manual "to your taste" adjustments.

For this exercise, I was just trying to keep eveything EQUAL to see how each setting came out - not worrying about fine tuning the correcions until I found one I liked.

Over time, I will try manual settings to see the difference.
