• Process the picture using a graphics application
that supports JPEG (Paint Shop Pro,
Photoshop, etc.). For example, after picking up
unnatural colors with an eyedropper tool, etc.,
you can select color areas, and try color
conversion or saturation adjustment. For
details, refer to the manual for the graphics
application you are using.
