In the Patient Picture window you can sharpen an image or alter its color, brightness, contrast, and saturation to improve the quality of the image. For example, if you took a picture of a patient under fluorescent lighting, the image may have a blueish tint. Using the Patient Picture window, you can add another color to compensate for the blueish tint.
