When I took pictures with my K700 they came out ok but I didn't realise what a difference a quick jasc photoshop visit would make!

The enhance photo option with 'colour balance' and 'edge preserving smooth' and maybe the 'clarify' and that's all that was needed to improve them no end. Just 3 button presses .

Then a quick transfer back to the phone and it makes them ten times better for only 4kb more a pic!
Means I can show off my phone pics to my friends and make the K700 look even better than it already is!

Ok 2 quick ones of me. They come out noticeably different on the phone as well. The lower one is the editted version. The picture is indoors so the quality is a little rougher to begin with but the editted pic had the correct colours and the black on my bandana is much clearer.

I like enhancing my piccies too....but i use Microsoft Photo Editor, i think it comes with Microsoft Office. It's default on my computer for opening all images cos its quick and easy to view, n zooming etc is very simple with the mouse wheel.
It also has an "AutoBalance" option which automatically changes brightness, contrast and gamma and makes most images look alot better. Example below.

Before:


After:



Its usually pretty decent but i find that with most outdoor pictures, wich decent light, taken from the k700i arent usually altered that much by the autobalance because the colour and contrast is already pretty perfect.
