Like all the best quick-fix software, iCorrect OneClick lets you make an instant correction,
then, if you want, tweak the result. In theory, this gives you the best of both
worlds: speed and quality. It is certainly very speedy and on this account has earned the
plaudits of several independent reviewers. Photoshop User magazine also found that it
gave more balanced results than those obtained by alternative solutions. As the vendor
says, it certainly “takes the guess work out of color correction,” although photographers
with the most exacting standards may find it removes some of the judgment as well.

iCorrect EditLab ProApp
Vendor: PictoColor Corporation
Purpose: A complete color correction and management system with a SmartColor Wizard interface
Description
iCorrect EditLab is designed to make color correction as easy as possible. It is particularly
strong on those parts of the workflow that involve using the Levels control in
Photoshop. Its SmartColor Wizard feature is a “mini-workflow” all by itself, with four
tabulated tasks that are conducted in strict order:
1. Color balance: For color cast removal and white balance correction.
2. Tonal range: For setting black point, white point, and midpoint.
3. Brightness/contrast/saturation adjustment.
4. Hue-selective edits: For fine-tuning the color.
If you are frustrated by the trade-offs and compromises of using Levels or Curves,
iCorrect EditLab rationalizes the process and minimizes the errors. For color-managed
workflows, it lets you save correction parameters as ICC profiles.
iCorrect EditLab comes as a stand-alone product (ProApp) or as a plug-in for Photoshop
and compatible editors.
