Hin's Photo Corner: i am feeling lucky

On a rush, I sometimes use the quick fix with "I am feeling lucky" in Picasa. Other times, I use "auto contrast" and "auto color" with pictures from my Fuji F30. I find "I am feeling lucky", "auto contrast/color" working quite effectively with "lighting" tunning afterwards. I use these features in Picasa to perform quick fix to most of my shots in Fuji F30. I usually zoom in to 100% crop to view the change and alternate between these three basic fixes

I am feeling lucky
Auto Contrast
Auto Color

and "ligting" is adjusted after the basic fix in Tunning section of Picasa. If I am not satisfied with the basic and tunning fixes, I proceed to "Effects" for these two items for color pictures:

Sharpen (just one click)
Saturation (only when necessary)

The above are few samples of quick fixes that I did in few minutes on candid shots with my Fuji F30. I may ruin the sky color as I have a tendency of overdoing color saturation.
