pink, yellow or some other color. By using this adjustment you 
can correct this effect and bring the white areas back to pure 
white.
■ Sharpness
This setting enhances the detail of an image. It is similar to 
adjusting the fine focus on a camera. If the image is not in true 
focus and you cannot see the fine details of the picture, then 
adjust the sharpness.
■ Color Density
This setting adjusts the total amount of color in the image. You 
can increase or decrease the amount of color in an image to 
improve a washed out or weak picture.
If you select  On, you can customize the White Balance, 
Sharpness or Color Density.
