PictoColor Corporation has announced the release of iCorrect OneClick, the
latest addition to its family of digital photo color correction plug-ins. The
new point-and-click color correction tool is PictoColor's fastest, easiest,
and most automatic color correction plug-in to date. Based on PictoColor's
professional-level color technology, iCorrect OneClick is ideal for photo enthusiasts
who want to take the guesswork out of making the color right. By simply clicking
on an area in the image that should be neutral (black or white or gray), users
can instantly correct the white balance, fix the exposure, and improve the saturation.



In addition to its automatic one click feature, this new plug-in offers users
even more tools for enhancing their photos such as fine tuning the exposure
by independently adjusting the overall brightness, shadows, and highlights or
creating more vivid, lifelike images by simply boosting the contrast and saturation.
Plus iCorrect OneClick offers special effects like black & white and sepia
tone with professional results.
