If you want to remove
color casts, you don't get anywhere with the miserable
automation of Photoshop & Co. A real comfort is working
with the intelligently conceived ColorWasher ... which
can almost be regarded as a independent image processing
tool ... makes colors shine without blowing them out ...
ColorWasher is a high-quality color and contrast optimizer
... exactly the right combination of intelligent algorithms
and user control.
Color Cast Correction: Very Good
Exposure Correction: Good
Usability: Very Good

Every photographer
... should have this in their collection. It really makes
the long tedious job of correcting underexposed or overexposed
photos, a lot easier with just a couple clicks of the
mouse. ... It used to take me anywhere from 5 minutes
to an hour getting a photo just right, now it takes me
about 10-20 seconds ... Basically you get an entire darkroom
for a very low cost. Very useful and fun.

ColorWasher, like
FocalBlade, is in a class of its own. Theres no
other tool (that Ive seen anyway) that combines
the depth of functionality and ease of use for such complex
and often harrowing tasks as cast removal and exposure
correction in one package. ColorWasher is accurate, malleable
and infinitely useful, and so affordable I cant
see any reason why a serious photographer or graphic artist
would want to be without it.

Photoshop CS is ... a powerful and useful tool but only
when used with a few plug-ins, namely Photowiz Colorwasher
and Focalblade. These two plug-ins allow me to bring out
the true colour of an image and to sharpen it extremely
accurately without too much time and effort. The results
are excellent.

offer a solution to these needs by developing really outstanding

The plug-in
is cleverly designed, with multi-view strips and mostly
slider-based operation. ... ColorWasher comes with histogram
feature that must be one of the most powerful Ive
ever come across ... the ColorWasher histogram is even
more powerful than Photoshops. ... ColorWasher is,
in my opinion, especially suitable for removing difficult
colour casts. Orange casts are a good example. ColorWasher
gives you all the power and capabilities you need to get
rid of such colour casts. The plug-in is also great to
add colour effects...

My
secret weapon for post-correcting shots through acrylic
windows is the ColorWasher plug-in. Unlike the finicky
Photoshop/Elements white-balance eyedropper tool, ColorWasher
allows you to drag a marquis across white and grey areas
to find an average white, thereby correcting
the photos colors.

who have to deal with camera JPGs from time to time. Simply,
conveniently and quickly you can get a grip on all problems
caused by wrong white balance and color casts as well
as most exposure problems. And the support of the manfacturer
is legendary.
