In-Camera Editing (5.25)


Basic editing features are on offer from the main menu of the G11; images can be cropped, re sized and have red-eye removed. You can also apply all of the color effects that are described in the TK section. Also offered is Canon's own i-Contrast processing, which tries to correct for under or over exposure of images. It does a pretty decent job, as well.  

 

Direct Print Options (6.00)


The standard features for printing photos are included. Photos can be tagged for printing by pressing the short cut button on the back of the camera, which flags the image for printing using the DPOF image format. The G11 can also be connected directly to any printer that supports the common PictBridge standard, where the camera connects to the printer over a USB cable. This means that you can print photos without using a computer.
