Comments
Aimed at the serious photographer, iCorrect EditLab ProApp can be integrated with a
RAW workflow although it does not handle RAW images directly. It is a very mature
application with ongoing development that has added new features like automatic black
and white conversion, sepia toning, and color toning. Whether it really is “the best shortcut
to perfect color” as the vendor claims is for users to judge, but it could well be true.
It has scored highly in all reviews.

Intellihance Pro
Chapter 9 ■ Quick-Fix Software 109
Vendor: onOne Software
Purpose: Automatic digital enhancement software, giving 25 instant variations of the image for
comparison
Description
Intellihance Pro is a long-established Photoshop plug-in that offers a very easy way of
achieving image correction. It simply applies 25 presets to the image, each one making
slightly different adjustments to color, contrast, and sharpness, and then displays the
results side-by-side in a grid for comparison. You can print the variations as a contact
sheet or view them on the screen.
There are 23 presets included with the package, but you can also create your own, either
from scratch or by altering one of the existing presets. Once stored, your preset can be
used in batch processing a number of images at once. Intellihance Pro has an excellent
de-screening function that allows you to convert scanned magazine halftones into continuous-tone
images.
Comments
Intellihance Pro takes the concept of bracketing and applies it generally to basic imageenhancement
techniques. Formerly an Extensis product acquired by onOne in 2005, it
was praised for its ease of use when it was first launched, but criticized by one reviewer
