Color correction is about accuracy and consistency, not simply increasing saturation. Begin with white balance and a stable tonal range.
Color correction is used to create a controlled and consistent visual result across a set of images.

Build a repeatable workflow

Compare related products side by side, protect important brand colors, and make selective corrections when possible. Review the final image at normal display size as well as close up.

What to check before export

  • Keep the composition and crop consistent.
  • Check exposure and color against a reliable reference.
  • Inspect edges at high magnification.
  • Review the image at normal website display size.
  • Keep a high-quality master separate from web-ready files.
