Automatic Enhancements
PSP7

Okay, I learned a lesson this week. [You can say "told ya so," Ron.]

Best thing is to get it right the first time with your camera. If you plan to rely on any overall quick fix enhancements, you may not get what you intended. The example with the blue flowers where I did have an image that showed the true color I saw demonstrated that concept.

In order to get the color I wanted I really needed to do more editing than the auto features allow. Soooooo, if you don't want to spend alot of time selecting and touching up and losing those pixels that Ron keeps preaching about, if at all possible, take your time, try different settings and get it right from the start.

Surely makes for a different point of view when you have the chance to control the original image quality instead of "working with what is presented" as I have been doing to date. [grumble, grumble, grovel & grin]
