For the most part, color correction is done by changing certain aspects of a picture so the image is more appealing to you. This may include highlighting, or adding color, or changing color in a photo. It may also involve creating contrast or removing noise from a picture so the image is sharper and clearer.

 Professional photo editing experts can change the hue and saturation of a photo and make a picture that was okay, become a stunning image. They can also take a black and white photograph and add color to make a new picture.

 Color correction experts can take a picture of an item like a hat, and change the color of the hat so that it looks completely different. This kind of process allows you to take one picture, then have it altered to represent every color option you offer the item in.

For the most part color correction of photos is not really that expensive. It does not cost as much to have the color adjusted in a photo to create a duplicate image with a different color as it does to set up and photograph ever color variation that you have available.

Color correction does require an expert eye on someone that is trained to adjust hue, saturation and brightness in a photo to create a spectacular visual image.

One of the main benefits of color correction is that a merchant can create a catalog that shows every color variation they offer for less money. If you have to hire a photographer to do a layout of product images for you then you have them shoot as few pictures as possible. If you offer one item in twelve different color combinations then you get the photo color corrected so one good picture can be turned into twelve separate pictures. 

Color-correction can also remove the noise and distraction in a photo and take a picture that was not as good as you wanted and turn it into an image that is professional quality. It saves you time, and it saves you money. Color-correction can make the finest details of a picture stand out by making slight alterations. You get to control the most visual aspect of the image.

Color correction services do not just take black and white photos and make the clothing and items in the picture colored. The correction process cleans the image up so the details of each portion is enhanced.

Then the correction process begins to change the hue and saturation of the picture so light and shadows fall properly to make the image look better.

With human elements in the photo the corrective process creates skin color correction so the model looks their best according to the background and clothing they have on. They also remove any unwanted splotches or uneven skin tones.

The process does not change, damage, or alter the photo that you provide. The editor will make a copy of your photo and work the changes on that copy rather than changing the original image that you provided them.

 Light saturation is one of the biggest elements that needs to be manipulated when color correction is being performed. A lot of times the color is right but the lighting is all wrong.

To improve the quality of an image using color correction the first order of business is to correct the lighting in the photo. The amount of light and where the light is concentrated creates a shadow effect that either makes the photo more appealing or takes something away from it. Expert editors can look at an image and immediately visualize how changing the lighting could improve the image.

Using the right colors to remove or hide natural flaws is an art. Our editors are like artists and they use each photo like it was a canvas that they were painting. On the photo, different colors are put in to make faces that have red cheeks or noses appear to have flawless skin. The color adjustments make you look like you want to look rather than like you really look.

Use brighter colors. Sometimes the only thing that a picture needs is for some of the colors to be brighter and more vivid. Making lips redder, or creating great detail in the color of a model’s eyes are one example. If you are correcting a jewelry image then making the stone in a ring a brighter color or a deeper color can enhance the entire item’s appearance.
