Automated Color and Tone Correction
Correct color and tone problems in your photos automatically and easily
Automata Server is an effective tool for quick adjustment of tones and colors. Adjustments to the white balance, exposure, and contrast are each made in separate layers. This enables you to customize any parameters to your desire. You may manually make adjustments if you desire even greater control over the final results.
The color and tonal adjustments done automatically by Automata are easily adjustable. The blend mode between the original and changed photos can be modified by slidably adjusting the value between 0 and 100 percent. The exposure and contrast levels can both be adjusted for more precision. White balance modifications can be made using color grading, ColorEQ, and curves.
Because it allows you to merge the color-corrected image with the original, the intensity value is the quickest and most straightforward approach to fine-tuning the automatic color-correction results.

Color Correction Automation - Questions and Answers
What is Automata Server’s color and tone correction?
Color correction is a technique used in photo editing to adjust the colors in an image so that they appear more natural. It is the process of adjusting the colors in an image to make them look more accurate and true to life. Color correction can be used to correct color casts, adjust the brightness and contrast of an image, and to adjust the saturation of an image
Automata Server’s color and tone correction is a powerful tool that allows you to achieve professional-quality color and tone correction for your photos. You have complete control over Automata Server’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 Server’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 Server’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.
Shadows and highlights correction is a feature of Automata Server’s color and tone correction that allows you to use a rich dynamics enhancer, shadows and highlights correction, and shadow style adjustments.
What is tone correction?
Tone correction is a printing and photography method used to modify the image's brightness and contrast. It is the technique of changing an image's tones to make them appear more accurate and lifelike. This technique is frequently used to restore images captured under poor lighting circumstances or scanned from old photographs.
Tone correction is a feature of Automata Server’s color and tone correction that allows you to use exposure enhancers, brightness, and non-linear contrast enhancers.
What is ColorEQ?
ColorEQ is a feature of Automata Server’s color and tone correction that allows you to customize white balance, uniform style for batch processing, and natural color balance adjustments.
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 Server’s color and tone correction that allows you to batch color grading, saturation enhancer, and color boost.
