iCorrect EditLab Pro combines the highly-acclaimed, easy-to-use iCorrect technology with automated processes for fast and easy color correction and color management.

August 12, 2004-Burnsville, MN, USA, PictoColor Corporation has released iCorrect EditLab Pro color correction and color management software that enables photographers and photo labs to accurately color correct images with speed and precision. Based on an enhanced version of the award-winning and highly-acclaimed iCorrect "point-and-click" color technology licensed from Pictographics International Corporation, iCorrect EditLab Pro incorporates automated batch processing features designed to make digital photo color correction simple and extremely fast. Color accurate images are automatically profiled into a RGB working color space for use in a color managed workflow. Color correction parameters can be saved as ICC input profiles or as Custom Settings. It is available either as an Adobe Photoshop action enabled plug-in or a Stand-Alone application for rapid-fire batch color correction. The Stand Alone version features ProcessQ™, P ictoColor's new technology for automatically applying customized correction parameters or ICC input profiles to a group of pictures. Both versions are available for Macintosh or Windows operating systems.

iCorrect EditLab Pro combines what has become an indispensable digital color correction technology used by many digital photographers and photo labs, iCorrect by Pictographics, with programmable batch processing functions into a production color correction product. It offers a revolutionary, yet simple and straightforward, way of color correcting any digital picture and then applying the correction parameters to a batch of pictures taken under similar conditions. The goal of iCorrect EditLab Pro is to provide professional photographers and photo labs with a production tool that will save time and money in the production of accurate color managed pictures.

iCorrect EditLab Pro incorporates an enhanced version of the award-winning iCorrect "point-and-click" color correc tion technology. It begins by making the color right and finishes by making the color even better by applying very sophisticated color editing tools in a simple and easy to use form. EditLab Pro leads the user through a simple four step "point-and-click" color correction process including:

  • Color balance for removing unwanted color cast
  • White/Black point and Gray-Tone adjustments to optimize color range
  • Brightness/Contrast/Saturation controls, including independent Highlight and Shadow controls
  • Hue Selective editing-refines colors and saturation on a hue selective basis including predefined Memory Colors such as Skin tones, Blue Sky, and Foliage Green.
Color correction parameters can be saved to automatically color correct a batch of similar images. Custom Settings may be stored and recalled for batch processing using ProcessQ in the stand alone-version or Photoshop Actions in the plug-in version. Color correction parameters may be saved as ICC profiles for application in any ICC compatible batch processor.
