You have complete control over Automata Pro’s automatic adjustments. You may simply correct errors with white balance, exposure, and tone, as well as eliminate color casts. Natural white balance correction allows you to also fine-tune color temperature and tint. Exposure correction, contrast correction, and dynamics enhancer can be used to clarify shadows and boost luminosity.

What is luminosity enhancement? 

Luminosity correction is a picture editing technique that adjusts the brightness of an image without changing its color. It is a method of adjusting an image's tonal range, making it brighter or darker without modifying the colors. Luminosity correction is frequently used to fix photographs that are underexposed or overexposed, or to modify the brightness of certain regions of an image. It is also used to improve visual contrast by boosting the brightness of highlights while decreasing the brightness of shadows.

Luminosity enhancement is a feature of Automata Pro’s color and tone correction that allows you to find dark and light colors and avoid clipping automatically.

What is white balance correction? 

White balance correction is a way that photographers change the colors in an image to make them look more natural. It is the process of getting rid of color casts in an image that are caused by how the picture was taken. The goal of white balance correction is to make an image's colors look like they would to a human eye in normal lighting. To do this, the image's color temperature, which is measured in Kelvin, is changed. When the color temperature is higher, the image looks cooler, and when it's lower, the image looks warmer.

White balance correction is a feature of Automata Pro’s color and tone correction that allows you to remove color cast, average balancing, and natural color temperature correction.

What is shadow and highlight correction?

Correction of shadows and highlights is a picture editing method used to adjust the image's brightness and contrast. It is the process of modifying an image's shadows and highlights to make it appear more authentic and lifelike. This technique is frequently used to restore images captured under poor lighting circumstances or scanned from old photographs.

What is color grading?

Color grading is a procedure in picture editing that involves changing the colors, contrast, and saturation of an image to make it more trendy and visually appealing. Colors, contrast, saturation, hue, and details are all used in the color grading process to improve the image's quality. It is utilized to create a mood or a sense of coherence with your color palette. Color grading, as opposed to color correction, which makes your photographs look precisely like they do in real life, conveys a visual tone.

Color grading is a feature of Automata Pro’s color and tone correction that allows you to batch color grading, saturation enhancer, and color boost.
