2. Automatic - Restores the picture's original colors.
    
3. Grayscale - Shades of gray.
    
4. Black and white - Changes your image to pure black and white.
    
5. Watermark - Converts the picture to preset levels of brightness and color contrast to create a transparent image that you might use for a task such as placing a company logo behind a presentation title.
    
6. To increase or decrease the level of contract, repeatedly click one of the Contrast buttons.
    
7. To increase or decrease the brightness, repeatedly click one of the Brightness buttons.

To use the menus, follow the steps below:
