With MediaOne Plus you can remove blemishes, whiten teeth or paint on a sun tan;
convert pictures to black and white or add picture frames and text. You can rotate, crop,
and resize images; fix red-eye effects; and even back up your entire photo collection
online, automatically.
Comments
Aimed at the home user of a point-and-shoot camera rather than the serious photographer,
Corel MediaOne comes in two versions. The full Plus edition has all the features
operating in perpetuity. The Starter edition provides a 30-day trial of the more sophisticated
features like trimming video clips or the facility to whiten teeth in portrait
images, while still giving many non-expiring features such as downloading, resizing,
emailing, printing, and back-up. This is a good approach: although not used very frequently
by photo software vendors.
Corel MediaOne Plus is a redesign of the former Snapfire product (which is still available
at the time of writing, and free, at www.snapfire.com). However, MediaOne Plus
is significantly faster than Snapfire, both in start-up and operation. Created with plenty
of feedback from customers, it successfully complements point-and-shoot photography
and for many people it will provide the stimulus to progress to DSLR photography.

PictoColor iCorrect OneClick is a Photoshop plug-in that specializes in making oneclick
corrections of white balance, exposure, and saturation. To use it, you simply click
on a neutral color such as white, black, or neutral gray, and the software does the rest.
